Marshes, wetlands and shoreline at the Upper Toussaint Unit are prime for migratory waterfowl, shorebirds and raptor activity; expect reflective water, reed beds and seasonal mudflats for intimate wildlife and landscape shots. Visit at dawn or dusk during spring and fall migration for active birds and warm light; winter can deliver snow- and ice-themed scenes and large goose/swan flocks. Accessible boardwalks and short trails from a small parking area make handheld or tripod work easy; no permit
