Utah Park and Jewell Wetlands

This small park with a tiny pond doesn’t typically attract a huge variety of birds, but the Jewell Wetlands adjacent to it, with its well laid-out boardwalk, has some of the best access to marshland in the area. Look for Virginia Rail and Sora, Marsh Wren, and (with a good deal of luck), the occasional American Bittern.
