Pocomoke Sound WMA, with over 900 acres of marsh and tidal mud flats, is located in southern Somerset County. The property provides excellent habitat for ducks, wading birds and shorebirds and more recently has become home to growing populations of osprey and barn owls. What To See From April through September bird enthusiasts come from miles around to see the glossy ibis probing its long bill in the mud for worms and other small marine life. Herons and egrets hunt the extensive marsh for small fish while ducks paddle through the shallows in search of their favorite plants. Osprey nest on nearby channel markers and from April to September barn owls use nest boxes on the marsh. Check out a map of the area.
