| Because people feed birds along the boardwalk, they are quite unafraid, like this dove. |
 |
| The red-winged blackbird loved the seeds that several people were offering them. Park policy permits feeding seeds to small birds like these. |
 |
| A muskrat was very close to the boardwalk. (Not a bird) |
 |
| This sandhill crane was missing one foot and part of a wing. He was right on the path. We assume he survives because people feed him and protect him. |
 |
| A crane family with this chick were patrolling the parking lot at the picnic area. |
 |
| They closely approached our table, but we didn’t feed them as it’s not allowed. |
