Photography and Observation

Observation Trio at the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge

Photography is a wonderful way for people to connect with nature, and it is one of the officially designated uses for national wildlife refuges. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional there’s a lot to see and photograph at St. Marks NWR.

And there are, of course, many ways to engage in observation. With binoculars, a scope, or just sitting quietly on a bench

The Refuge also offers organized opportunities for photography and observation on the Refuge, many of which are behind the gates. Check the USFW calendar for upcoming dates and times for the following:

Wildlife and Birding Tours are led frequently by Don Morrow. You’ll not only see a lot but you’ll learn a lot with either of these expert guides who offer much in the way of knowledge about Refuge and resident wildlife.

If you’re a photographer or just want to enjoy the pictures shared by those visiting the Refuge, please join Facebook page for the St. Marks and St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuges Photography Group.
