Viewing platform, Tiny Marsh
M is for MARSH.
Tiny Marsh is a great place to hike and take photos of wildlife.
View north from the platform
As you can see in this photo taken a couple of weeks ago, Tiny Marsh is NOT tiny but quite large.
View south from the platform
This photo was taken in June when the water was still high because a beaver family had built a dam to keep water from draining out of the marsh.
Sample of fauna in the marsh
This marsh is one of my favourite places for watching green herons.

The wildflowers there are continuously changing.

Beautiful Clicks. . . I like Them. . . You have a Nice Day. . :)
I love that image of the green heron!!!! I don't have a good lens to capture birds, so I enjoy seeing yours!!
Down this away we call these areas swamps! It does remind me of our mangrove swamps what with the slimy green water. Is this where you get some of your great bird photos?
That is quite a marsh. The beavers down here get active in places also.
Marsh life is fascinating, and it looks as though you have a great viewing place.
stunning views from the platform..
I'm fascinated by the name. How did Tiny Marsh get its name?
Looks great! I really must go there.
Hi Kathy,
Good question. When Upper Canada (now Ontario) was being surveyed in the the late 18th century, Lieutenant Governor Simcoe must have run out of names for the various counties being formed so he named three of them after his dogs, one of which was named Tiny. True story. :)
a great green heron shot!
Tiny, Tay and Flos were Mrs Simcoe's dogs!
That's a vantage point.
The platform looks like a perfect vantage point to spot the birds from!
... and very much ALIVE, I'd wager.
That is a very impressive marsh. It's nice that there's a viewing platform there.
I've never seen a marsh in person. It sure makes pretty pictures!
what a beautiful place.
Wow! I would not mind walking around that Marsh area with plenty to see and shot. Great shots especially the heron
Cool shots. You reminded my that there is a marsh with wood trails or bridges and a viewing platform up Bellingham way. I must go up that way. Photo ops!!! MB
to me it looks as if the birds are professional models . . your photos are THAT GOOD.

Looks like a great place for a wander!
beautiful photos. What an interesting place...
Beautiful heron show as well as the marsh.
Gorgeous marsh photos ~ and nature's delights ~ thanks, carol, xo
That heron is beautiful. And that's no tiny marsh either! :)
So pretty. I wish I had just a tiny portion of your photography skills.
I'm wriggling my nose like crazy feeling bewitched by these wonderful photos but I'm still sitting in Versailles :-(
Amazing photos! Love that marsh!
So. Very. Pretty.
Amazing what beauty can be found in a marsh!
Your photos are so vivid. Makes me feel like I'm there in person, right on top of that viewing platform!
=)
What a great marsh and place to see birds. Love that viewing platform too
I wish we lived close to a marsh that was easily accesible...there is just so much that goes on at one. Love the heron.
What wonderful pictures! Wow! The water really rose.
Nice place to watch the sunrise or sunset.
Superb *M* post – great photography!
Tiny Marsh is certainly anything but tiny!
Amazing marsh. I'll bet you sometimes just want to camp out on that viewing platform.
