Take a virtual trip to Chincoteague NWR in Virginia in search of waterfowl and other interesting birds. Chincoteague NWR was established in 1943 as a wintering area for migratory waterfowl and today thousands of ducks and geese winter there. Explore the refuge and see if you can identify the birds you find.
