Lake Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern North Carolina is a wonderful place for birds and photographers. It's widely known for Tundra Swans, geese, and many species of ducks that spend the winter on the refuge. Birders know it quite well for the great diversity of all bird species that gather on the refuge year round. A drive along the causeway that bisects the lake or along any of the public roads that surround the lake will offer no shortage of subjects for photographers. No matter what time of the year, the lake is wonderful place to visit.
