Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge

Hi All,

Friday we drove a short 75 miles from Delaware to Chincoteague, VA. In the afternoon we visited the refuge and got on a wildlife bus tour that went along the 7.5 mile service road into the refuge.

We were delighted to see some of the famous Chincoteague ponies in a nearby field.


It was really neat when one of them stood alongside the road as we drove past!

Today we returned to the refuge to hike the 3.5 mile wildlife loop. Lots of different birds. An immature bald eagle flew overhead and the ponds and mudflat held many different ducks, shorebirds and wading birds.  Here Sandy is photographing a great egret.

Captain Zack's is a great seafood take-out place. We got one of their seafood platters that fed us both very well for two nights .
Tomorrow we begin a two day drive to Charleston, SC.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
