Maryland Coverage
Atlantic Coast Duck Migration Forecast
Worcester County: the coastal bays behind Assateague and Ocean City. Salt water that holds open longer than the creeks inland, with scoters, brant and snow geese.
When Atlantic Coast peaks
DuckCast’s season model puts the wood duck peak here around mid November. Atlantic Coast carries its own season curve rather than sharing Maryland's statewide one, because the timing here genuinely differs from the rest of the state. That is a modelled typical curve, not a prediction for any single year. The actual push depends on cold fronts and freeze-up upstream, which is what the daily score tracks. Always confirm season dates with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
What DuckCast watches upstream of Atlantic Coast
5 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line: Wilkes-Barre, Binghamton, Cape Vincent, Missisquoi, Montezuma. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.
Locations stay generalized
Hunter reports for Atlantic Coast are always shown at the region level. DuckCast never collects or displays exact coordinates, so filing a report here never burns a spot.
