Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge is host to hundreds of thousands of migrating ducks, geese, shorebirds and neo-tropical songbirds in their spring and fall (迁徙). Tired and hungry between Canada and the Gulf of Mexico, they seek shelter at Bombay Hook and feast on marsh grasses, fish and other important foods before continuing their flight. Bombay Hook’s 16,000 acres include freshwater pools, swamps, upland forests, agricultural fields and one of the largest unaltered tidal salt marshes in the Mid-Atlantic region. It was established as a national site in 1937. 孟买胡克国家野生动物保护区是成千上万迁徙的鸭子、鹅、水鸟,以及新热带地区的鸟类春秋两季迁徙的寄宿地。这些动物在加拿大与墨西哥湾之间飞行又累又饿,在它继续飞行之前,在孟买胡克寻求落足处,并在那里享用沼泽草本植物、鱼类和其它重要食物。孟买胡克的面积16,000英亩,它包括淡水池塘、沼泽、山地森林、农田和大西洋中部地区其中一个最大的不变潮汐的盐碱沼泽地。它于1937年成为国家遗址。 This design features a great blue heron in the foreground and a great egret in the background.
