Every fall holds surprises at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, so join us
to discover what awaits us on this year’s annual fall VSO trip, September
14-16. Last we tallied 120 species, including a terrific combination of
waterfowl, shorebirds and migrating songbirds. TRIP REGISTRATION : To help us
plan for the weekend, please register in advance. Provide the names of
