Millington Wildlife Management Area

Millington Wildlife Management Area is a nature reserve on Maryland's Eastern Shore featuring wetlands, forests, and open grasslands. These varied habitats support deer, upland game birds, and migratory waterfowl throughout the year.

The area was established by the Wildlife and Heritage Service to protect local animal populations. Management practices focus on maintaining healthy wildlife numbers while allowing sustainable hunting and research activities.

The site draws birdwatchers and nature photographers who return throughout the year to observe seasonal changes in wildlife. Local observers have developed a strong connection to tracking the different species that pass through with the seasons.

Permits are required for hunting activities on the property. Birdwatching, photography, and hiking are open year-round in designated areas, though water conditions can vary by season.

The site functions as a research station for observing migratory bird patterns and movements. Scientists regularly use specific locations to collect data on waterfowl populations and environmental shifts over time.
