Encompassing wetlands and woodlands, Wye Marsh offers diverse habitat to many differnt birds. We are a designated Important Birding Area. At our Waterfowl Monitoring Station take a look for a Trumpeter Swan. These elegant birds were brought back from the brink of extinction through the hard work of the Trumpeter Swan Reintroduction Program.
Our Birds of Prey field is home to owls, hawks, a turkey vulture and a bald eagle. These beautiful birds are no longer able to survive in the wild and need our care. They act as Educational Animal Ambassadors about their species.
