Plum Tree Island National Wildlife Refuge — photo spot in Poquoson, VA 23662, USA
Plum Tree Island National Wildlife Refuge
Salt marsh island in the Chesapeake Bay estuary offering classic coastal wetland scenes and abundant waterbirds. Photographers shoot wide tidal channels, reed-lined foregrounds, shorebirds, herons, egrets and wintering waterfowl. Best at dawn/dusk and during spring/fall migration for peak bird activity and dramatic skies. Access is limited—the refuge has no developed visitor facilities and much of the island is closed to vehicles; most photographers approach by kayak or boat from nearby Poquoson
