Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge provides sanctuary for migratory birds who travel through the Chesapeake Bay in the winter and spring. It represents a unique ecosystem component of the Chesapeake Bay, providing a relatively isolated and predator-free critical nesting and wintering habitat. A host of waterfowl, wading birds, shorebirds, terrapins and endangered species rely on this habitat.
Refuge islands, like Eastern Neck are important breeding areas for American black duck, colonial nesting shore and wading birds, and diamondback terrapins, and support large numbers of spring and fall migrating songbirds, raptors and monarch butterflies.
