A little backstory, Blackwater NWR

I'm stationed at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge this summer, It is a wonderful place to be! Blackwater was established in 1931 for a migratory bird refuge. What makes the refuge unique is that it weaves marshes, croplands, and moist soil impoundments into a system that provides an extremely productive habitat for migrating and wintering birds! It also is home to the Delmarva Fox Squirrel.
