There's a Pie-billed nesting at Juanita Bay Park, too. In fact, it looks as
though it was placed where it is for your observing pleasure! It's directly
off the end of one of the boardwalks extending out over the water. (The one
farthest west.)

Also saw a Virginia Rail fledgling in the same place (calling loudly back
and forth with a parent which I couldn't spot) and a barn owl sleeping in a
tree right near the south end of the old highway (now a walkway).
