About this trip

Maryland and Virginia's eastern shore is located in the heart of the Atlantic Flyway. The Chesapeake Bay and its numerous tributaries covers 4,480 square miles and is exceptionally rich in waterfowl history and serve as prime wintering grounds for millions of various waterfowl species. From the stunning king canvasback, bluebills, redheads, and goldeneyes to the sea ducks populating the expansive big water in staggering numbers. In addition, the marshes, rivers, and timber provide a habitat for wood ducks, mallards, black ducks, teal, widgeon, gadwalls, and pintails. The remarkable variety of species that you have the opportunity to check off your trophy list is truly some of the best and most diverse in the entire country.
