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.

My name is Joe Subolefsky (@joesubolefsky). Thanks for allowing me to take over the CBM Instagram Account! Over the next few days I'll be sharing my photographs with you. It is my hope that the photographs I share instill a feeling of happiness, beauty, nature and hope for the future of our ecosystem. Wood Ducks are my favorite subject to photograph. My Instagram feed is filled with Wood Ducks right now. Every available morning, I am photographing these tiny characteristic creatures. They have such big personalities for being so small. The males show off their brilliant colors for the females. The females take their time and peruse the options before settling down with one male for the season. The construction and maintenance of Wood Duck boxes have helped this population rebound from near extinction in the early 1900's due to feather trade and lack of habitat.

This just goes to show that tides aren't something that only boaters keep track of.... us photographers pay attention, too! High tides and heavy rains meant flooding in Chincoteague on the bay side, making for an interesting view at twilight. But I did feel bad when I saw the house had a for sale sign... hope they didn't have any showings scheduled that day! ⠀ ⠀ This is the last photo for my takeover. Thanks for following along!⠀ ⠀ Photo by @jasutable #twilightscapes #chincoteague
These reflections at Generation III Marina stopped me in my tracks on my way home on a calm and quiet night along Cambridge Creek. The creek was once a working waterfront, chock full of workboats, boatyards, and seafood processing plants. Boatbuilders have worked these shorelines for nearly 250 years. In the early 1900s, there were so many workboats it was said that you could cross the creek by stepping from boat to boat. Today, the workboats sit side by side recreational boats, and the land has more condos than seafood businesses.

I call this one "Beauty in What Remains." The cape known as Ragged Point, in the northwestern corner of Dorchester County, includes a little spit of a beach where the vestiges of trees stand stoically at the Chesapeake Bay near the mouth of the Little Choptank River. I find the trees hauntingly beautiful. Why did they die? Probably a combination of erosion, salt-water incursion, and sea level rise. These issues are serious business in this area. A friend of mine, Chesapeake Bay photographer Dave Harp, and others recently released a documentary called "High Tide in Dorchester" that looks at some of the challenges in Dorchester County that can apply to many places around the bay.

These crab baskets stacked behind T.L. Morris Seafood in Trappe caught my eye as I was watching the sun set. This seafood business was started in the 1980s by lifelong waterman Tom Morris as a place local watermen could bring their peeler crabs and let them shed into soft crabs. Later he started buying hard crabs from local watermen. Today the bright red building near the Malkus Bridge over the Choptank River draws the eye -- and the tastebuds.
