Vintage Maryland Wildlife Blackwater Chesapeake Bay Historical Dorchester County

Description: “ Blackwater “ National Wildlife Refuge, Dorchester County, Maryland By Brooke Meanly Copyright @ 1978, by Tidewater Publishers 148 Pages Scarce The extensive marshlands and bordering loblolly pine forests of southern Dorchester County, Maryland, form one of the best areas for wildlife in the Chesapeake Bay Country. Enhancing this already rich wildlife area is the 11,000-acre Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge established in its midst in 1933. The Refuge is strategically situated in an area drained by the Blackwater, Little Black-water and Transquaking Rivers. In this ideal location an abundant variety of grasses and grains flourish to provide food for the diverse wildlife population. Expert and careful management has played an important role in the nurture of this area which attracts visitors from all parts of the world. Wildlife conservationists, bird watchers, biologists-in fact, all nature lovers--will find the graphic descriptions and photographs in Blackwater to be interesting and informative. Blackwater's distinguishing features as a wildlife area include: the highest population density of nesting bald eagles in the eastern United States north of Florida; the largest population of Delmarva fox squirrels extant; a major concentration area of Canada geese along the Atlantic Flyway; one of the most important muskrat producing areas in the United States; and the northern limit of the range of the red-cockaded woodpecker (and only known nesting area in Maryland).

Meaning, if a specific listing is priced at $100 and the listing states that the shipping cost is $10, please do not enter a $95 offer and attach a note that says the offer is for $95 with free shipping. As the offer should simply be entered as $85 and the shipping will be added automatically. ———————————————————— Miscellaneous: All items are from a Non-Smoking Home. *Please apply common sense! For instance, if we use the phrase "Everything Shown Is Included!", Well, I’m sorry, that does not mean we can afford to give away Necklace Busts & Mannequin Hands. Thanks for Viewing! P.S.
