EcosystemEdit
Like most swamps surrounding the Chesapeake Bay, this small freshwater body is classified as a bald cypress swamp. It is part of a tributary system which feeds into the Rhode River, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay itself. It is also home to many species including a variety of reptiles, amphibians, insects, birds, and aquatic vegetation. Unlike many swamps, it is untouched by humans except for a few dirt trails nearby. It is an important habitat for wildlife in the area.
Birds Mill Swamp is one of more than one hundred swamps in Maryland.
