The first day of Spring calls for baby animals! As CBF President Will Baker wrote in a recent blog, "The cycle continues, COVID or not. Nature is remarkable, and I am so grateful to each of you for doing your part to give "nature" around here a helping hand." 📷: Rachel Church, CBF staff, & Rebecca Lessner #SaveTheBay

Check out these amazing photos our Island Senior Manager, Jeff Varnon, took yesterday evening in Tangier Harbor! Bottlenose dolphins are most likely to visit the Bay more during the summer (these guys are early!), and are most often seen in the lower Chesapeake Bay near Cape Charles and the James and Elizabeth rivers. Some dolphins may venture as far north as Baltimore Harbor, the Chester River, and even Washington, D.C! #SaveTheBay
