A short boardwalk out over a cattail marsh, which is a very efficient way to be close to birds without walking far. Beavers, turtles on the logs, and herons standing in the shallows about ten feet from the railing.
Martins take the boxes; osprey rebuild the platform.
Herons fish within feet of the boardwalk rail.
Grebes and mergansers return to the bay.
Goldeneye and wigeon raft off the point.
