Marshes, shallow pools, riparian woodlands and open grasslands create varied scenes for waterfowl, wading birds and seasonal migrations. Best at golden hour and during spring/fall migration when birds concentrate on ponds; winter can yield raptors and stark landscapes. Easy roadside access and small parking areas at trailheads; free entry as a state-managed area but follow posted rules. Expect muddy trails—good boots—and limited facilities.
