“Wildlife Photography at Assateague National Seashore and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge”This presentation explores the Assateague and Chincoteague island’s diverse habitats including Irene’s favorite locations to photograph. It ends with a discussion of relevant photographic principles and how best to locate, approach, and capture captivating images of wildlife.
Assateague Island National Seashore is a 37-mile-long narrow barrier island lying off the coast of Maryland and Virginia. The management of the Maryland portion of the island is more focused on outdoor recreation and an appreciation of nature. Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), which occupies the Virginia end of the island, is focused on managing critical habitats for the benefit of wildlife.
Situated on the Atlantic Flyway, Chincoteague NWR is a major resting and refueling spot for thousands of migrating birds. It is an important link in the chain of coastal refuges helping to preserve disappearing coastal wetlands. The seashore’s sand beaches, and over-wash areas are critical habitat for nesting birds including Piping Plovers and Least Terns. For visitors, a favorite attraction is the wild horses.
