Dam Pond Maritime Reserve, an area of 36 acres in East Marion, is best known for birders during early spring, mid fall, and winter migration as a place to see over-wintering land birds and water fowl. There is salt scrub and grass, hardwoods and now a grassland restoration project. It is a wonderful shallow tide pond that exits into Orient Harbor. A very narrow sandbar is all that separates the pond from Long Island Sound, yet it has been there through storms and tides as long as anyone can remember. It's a unique spot... well worth a visit.

Thank you for your kind comments on my blog recently about quietude and creativity. Blogging has been great fun with all the people you get to meet and places they show us.
Enjoying your autumn theme posts, the birch forest is so pretty, we don't have them in this region and enjoyed the colourful view.
That looks like a great place to visit even if you know nothing about birds.
Glorious!
Aloha, Friend!

The pond looks calm. Loved how the horizon was captured in the first photo.
As Mike wrote, this is a beautiful and peaceful place.

beautiful pictures!
You are lucky to live close to a spot where bird migration can be studied - it must be so exciting to see all the comings and goings.
