Eastern Shore of VA and Fisherman Island NWR

Situated at the tip of the Delmarva Peninsula, the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge serves as one of the country’s most valuable stopovers for migratory birds. Refuge woodlands and fields provide homes for Carolina chickadees, Carolina wrens and several species of owl and woodpeckers, along with thirty-four species of mammals. The 1,123 acre refuge was established in 1984 for migratory and endangered species management and for wildlife dependent recreation, interpretation and education.
