Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge - Metzger Marsh Unit
A rich Lake Erie coastal marsh famed for spring and fall migrations—shorebirds, waterfowl, waders and migrating raptors. Shoot low-angle reflections on tidal flats, close-ups from observation blinds, and wide marsh panoramas at sunrise/sunset. Best visited at dawn during migration (Apr–May, Aug–Oct) for active birds and warm light. Small gravel parking and short accessible boardwalks; bring bug spray, waterproof shoes and check refuge hours/closures. Weekday mornings are quieter.
