A good way to bird the area is to come in on Tollefson Rd and scope the marsh -
then continue until the road turns right and park in the second parking lot on
the left. There is a gate and you can walk the trial which catches the morning
sun and can have lots of birds early. The trail eventually forks. I have the
best luck taking the trail to the right - eventually it goes out into a large
cattail marsh were I surprised the America Bittern this morning.
