Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside; 5 June Arrived just before the full moon high tide. The marsh was completely flooded, even encroaching over the paths preventing access to the pool at the south of the property. Any nests started by rails or sparrows early would have been completely inundated. The good news was a singing MARSH WREN in the marsh elder shrubs and phragmites by the bulk headed area along the main trail.
