SUMMARY:Exploring Blackwater Wildlife Refuge through Photography
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Capital Photography Center) Join us on Maryland’s Eastern Shore with Kim Kelly as we explore Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. This sanctuary has over 32\,000 acres of diverse habitats attracting waterfowl and other birds along the Atlantic Flyway. Winter months can be awesome for photographing birds and wildlife in the DMV area. At this time of year\, the eagles are plentiful as pairs match up and begin nest building. \nWe will be honing our skills at photographing birds and other potential wildlife as we move around the refuge.
