nice boardwalk. it seems not only human benefit from its construction but the birds are using it wisely as well. i think the boardwalk is built quite high from the water level (looking at the vegetation), does the level fluctuates a lot?
Actually there has rarely been water in the small wetland area in the past. I don't really understand the need for the boardwalk. I think it's for PR purposes. A small veiwing platform would have been fine.
