Marshy wetland complex with ponds, cattails and seasonal flooding that attracts waterfowl, waders and migrating songbirds — great for bird and wetland ecology shots. Visit at dawn or dusk in spring and fall migrations for active birds and soft light. Expect unpaved access and short foot trails from Newell Ave; bring waterproof boots, insect repellent and a telephoto. Small parking area; no permit normally required. Low human traffic makes it a quiet wildlife hide.
