Salt marshes, shallow pools and boardwalked trails east of the Pintail Loop offer concentrated birdlife—waders, shorebirds, ducks and raptors—plus expansive marsh vistas and dramatic skies. Best at dawn and early morning for active birds and soft side-light; late afternoon/golden hour yields warm tones and reflective water. Flat, easy trails and boardwalks are mostly accessible; free refuge access and small parking areas near the loop. Expect mosquitoes in warm months and bring sun/rain gear. M•
