Eastern
Neck NWR
Located at the mouth of the Chester River,
Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge is a major feeding
and resting place for migratory and wintering waterfowl.
It is a benchmark site for remnant populations of the
endangered Delmarva Fox Squirrel, now found in only
4 counties on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The threatened
southern bald eagle, our national symbol, also calls
this island refuge home. Nearly six miles of roads and
trails are open to visitors most of the year. Boardwalks
and observation
decks provide opportunities to observe a
variety of habitats
