| | This freshwater marsh in a suburban setting is a very young wildlife refuge and bears watching in the coming years. It is well situated and has the potential to grow into a wonderful roost area for many wading birds and shorebirds. Visitors are currently rewarded with close-up views of many wading birds from an easily accessible viewing platform. In spring and summer endangered Least Tern and Black Skimmer hunt in the freshwater marsh. The Refuge also attracts a number of migrating
shorebirds in spring and fall.
