Small preserve of wetlands, prairie and wooded edges that attracts songbirds, waterfowl and seasonal migration activity. Photograph open marsh reflections, reed-lined shorelines, and intimate bird portraits. Best at dawn/dusk for golden-hour light and active wildlife; spring and fall migrations are peak. Trails and short boardwalks provide easy access and nearby parking; generally free entry. Weekday mornings offer the fewest people and quiet behavior helps with close approach.
