Photography of wildlife and landscapes is a popular pastime at the wildlife refuge, whether the camera is a cell phone or DSLR system. During the winter months waterfowl, especially tundra swans, are a common subject, particularly when viewed from the dock by the Visitor Center and the Wildlife Viewing Window. Summer visitors often snap shots of dragonflies, great blue herons or cottonmouth (water moccasin) snakes. Visitors are also not likely to forget spectacular sunrises on the beach or sunsets on the bay!
A Commercial Special Use Permit may be needed for photographers bringing clients to the wildlife refuge for a photo session. Please call 757-301-7329 ext.4 to check if a Permit is needed for an upcoming project.
