Keep an eye out for weather changes. Beware of the constantly changing tides. If the wildlife you are watching react to your presence, you are too close. Increase your distance. Otherwise, they will leave, denying you and those behind you the pleasure of observing them.
Litter poses health hazards to the wildlife in the marsh and creek.
So please, if you brought it in with you, take it back out.
