Permits to bird the islands on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel
can be obtained by writing to The Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel
District, 323896 Lankford Highway, Cape Charles, VA 23310-0111.
Better still, you can obtain the permit by calling 757/331-2960.
You can have it mailed to you, or you can simply tell them what
day you want to pick it up and at which end (North, Cape Charles
or South, Virginia Beach). Stop at the offices by the toll booths
and it will be waiting for you.
In addition to the sites you have mentioned I would recommend
the town of Oyster, Northampton County and its dump (sanitary
landfill) which is located just north of Oyster on Rt 600. Rt 600
is a pleasant alternative to Rt 13 and can produce some good birds.
Both the Eastern Shore Refuge and Kiptopeke State Park are basically
adjacent to Rt. 13 at the end of the peninsula. They
are both signposted. Hope this helps,
