Habitat(s) - started off on a boardwalk going through a wooded area with mostly songbirds, then came to a bridge over more open water with the lake to the West and the river to the East with a marshy area. I stayed in a grassy shaded area on the water for a while and saw mostly waterbirds and blackbirds, then continued down the bike path, which was surrounded by more wooded area and songbirds. After heading back down the bike path and across the bridge, I went down the shoreline path and saw more waterbirds and blackbirds.
