Also referred to as the, “Everglades of the North”, Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, located near Cambridge, Maryland, is a wetland mecca for birds migrating along the Atlantic Flyway. This refuge offers diverse habitat to its avian visitors and contains one-third of Maryland’s tidal wetlands. I visited this very special place in March, and had the good fortune to witness these two bald eagles jousting in the air as they battled for supremacy. Visitors can view Bald Eagles, Heron, various types of swans, ducks, and geese, at almost every bend in the road that winds through the refuge.

Steeped in the Chesapeake Bay’s oyster harvesting history, is the buyboat or deck boat.  The 40’-90’ long, wooden vessels were used in the purchase and transport of oysters, from fisherman to the markets and processing plants.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Docked in Reedville, Virginia, this buyboat was part of the Chesapeake Bay Buyboat Association’s, “Middle of the Bay” cruise, where several of these beautifully restored vessels were gathered together.  Photo by @karieandersonphotography #buyboat #chesapeakebay #virginiaisbeautiful #Reedville
Good morning! My name is Karie Winograsky-Anderson, and I am a photographer living in the Northern Neck of Virginia. I have the privilege to share my pictures with you this week on CBM’s Instagram feed. As a recent transplant from Colorado, I am fortunate to be living in the idyllic, waterfront setting of Mattox Creek, just off the Potomac River. This transition to Virginia has afforded me the opportunity to begin witnessing and photographing all the beauty and diversity that the Chesapeake Bay region offers. I look forward to sharing some of my images of this captivating area with you this week. Please check out my website at winograsky.com to see more of my captures of my travels and adventures. In the short period of time that I have resided in this area, I have discovered that sunrises here do not disappoint. The nautical refuge of Annapolis Harbor is a popular boating destination. On a cool October day, several vessels rest quietly on mooring balls in the predawn light of the City’s Marina. Photo by @karieandersonphotography #Annapolis #visitmaryland #chesapeakebay #icw
Bald Eagles play an important role in our ecosystem. Not only do they keep fish, rabbit, squirrel and rodent populations in check, but they also eat carrion. Working with vultures to dispose of roadkill helps keep our ecosystem and road shoulders hazard free! Darlington, Maryland Photo by @joesubolefsky
Built in 1827, the Concord Point Lighthouse in Havre de Grace, Maryland is one of the oldest continuously operational lighthouses on the East Coast. The location of this lighthouse is unique because it is at the northern most point of the Chesapeake Bay. Infrared photography, which is a technique used in this photograph, picks up wavelengths in the 700nm to 900nm range, allowing us to see things in the photograph we could not see with our naked eye. For example, the details of the clouds were not visible that day, but in the photograph the infrared technology made the clouds more dramatic. Havre de Grace, Maryland Photo by @joesubolefsky
Snowy Egret populations decreased significantly in the late 1800's because their long breeding plumes were a hot commodity in the trade industry. Populations have since rebounded due to a halt in the trade regulations. These stunning birds are found in wetlands, salt-marsh islands, swamps and marshes. The Chesapeake Bay is an important stopover during their migration and they make the most of the watershed's habitat options to nourish themselves along their journey.

These crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk) birds nest on beaches, gravel or shell bars, dredge disposition islands and salt marshes. Newly hatched Black Skimmer chicks have an upper and lower mandible (beak) that are equal in size. By the time they fledge, the lower mandible is already one centimeter longer than the upper mandible. Chesapeake Bay, Maryland Photo by @joesubolefsky
Barges play a vital role in the restoration of islands in the Chesapeake Bay. This particular barge is coming from the Vulcan Havre de Grace Quarry and is loaded with rip rap headed to Popular Island. The rip rap will be used as shoreline stabilization.
