Constitution Marsh

If you’re ever looking for a unique view of the Hudson River and one of its marshes, I can do no better than recommending a visit to Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary in Garrison.
Some 700 feet of boardwalk will take you out into the marsh, just a foot or so above the water. On Saturday, the marsh was still mostly brown and quiet – save for a handful of red-winged blackbirds.
When my daughter and I showed up, the marsh was at low tide. Some bird tracks could be seen in the mud, next to section of boardwalk. I’m thinking great blue heron but I’m also open to other suggestions.
