Upper Shore

Please join us for Chincoteague’s Christmas Bird Count! The VACI count circle is divided into 10 sectors centered on Chincoteague Bay. It includes all of Chincoteague Island, most of Assateague Island (VA), portions of Wallops Island, and the western shore of Chincoteague Bay, as well as mainland areas extending into Maryland. What a great way to explore and go birding on Virginia’s and Maryland’s Eastern Shore!
