About two-thirds of the way through the trip, we pulled-up under a highway overpass to get out of our watercraft and climb up to road level to get a view out over the restored marshes. Here, we've made our beachhead.
Prior to canoeing into one of the restored marshes, our guide explained the restoration process.

Native Wild-rice (Zizania aquatica), a sure sign of successful restoration in the marsh.
Near the end of our excursion, the trees lining the river were weighted down with noisy passerines. Most were Brown-headed Cowbirds, with some European Starlings and Common Grackles mixed in.
Yours truly, in the bow of the canoe.
