Freshwater springs and marshland attracting waterfowl, shorebirds and seasonal migrants with mirror-like pools and reed-lined channels. Shoot sunrise/sunset for warm sidelighting and reflections; peak bird activity is dawn and dusk, spring/fall migration best for diversity. Accessible from US‑26 with small parking areas—check Oregon WMA rules (seasonal restrictions/hunting). Stay on trails/observation points to avoid disturbance.
