Photography

Photographers from all over the world flock to Sachuest Point to capture the wildlife and the scenery. Marvel at the tree swallows and monarchs during their spring and fall migration, or northern harrier as it soars across its hunting grounds. Discover dozens of species of waterfowl throughout the winter including Harlequin ducks, buffleheads, and common loons. Visit during the spring to capture a variety of flowering plants, or the fall to witness a sea of goldenrods in bloom. Observe the life stages of deer throughout the year, and maybe even encounter an American mink or meadow vole. 

While we welcome photography, we ask that all photographers respect the same rules that we ask of all visiting members of the public. Please remain on marked trails and do not harass wildlife. All visitors should remain 200 feet from wildlife when possible-- if the animal is reacting to your presence, you are too close!
