Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge August 26

Sussex Bird Club field trip to Chincoteague NWR, VA. 13 birders met at Queen Sound landing about 8:30 AM.

While there we had several good looks at clapper rails, but most shorebirds were few and far between. eBird checklist for Queen Sound.

By 10AM we were scoping the marshes at Chincoteague NWR. Surprisingly, we didn't see a single pony! But we eventually identified a total of 39 bird species during multiple stops in the refuge. eBird checklist for CNWR.
