Over 300 species of birds have been recorded in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge protects over 14,000 acres of beach, dunes, marsh, and maritime forest on Assateague Island and other barrier islands off the coast of Maryland and Virginia. Chincoteague is famous for the wild Chincoteague ponies and its beautiful beaches as well as its abundant bird life.
Bill and Carolyn Golden will be presenting their photographs of the birds from the Chincoteague NWR. They have spent the last 14 years living in Virginia as well as Westchester County. Their dual residency has enabled them to photograph a great number of the birds that inhabit and migrate through the preserve.
