Alman Marsh and the Petaluma River
The Alman Marsh is 80 acres of pasture/marsh that sits between Shollenberger Park on the south and the Petaluma Marina on the north.

Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility
Over four miles of walking trails, which ring the facility’s polishing wetlands, are open to the public. A connecting trail leads to the Shollenberger Park trails.

Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility
Starting from the Sheraton Hotel, hikers can now take advantage of over seven miles of trails between Alman Marsh, Shollenberger Park, and the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility trails.

Baby Coot
One early morning we were lucky enough to come upon coot chicks in the reeds at Shollenberger. They were hilarious looking with their orange "hair" feathers. A day later they looked more like their parents.

Adolescent Kites
When I heard of the juvenile kites at Ellis Creek, I hurried to see/photograph them. Watching them interact with each other and their parents was quite the treat. The only problem was the 7 ticks I took home with me!

Shollenberger Park and the Petaluma River
This 165-acre wetlands park (with 16 acres of accessible trails) is a haven for wildlife, native plants and humans.

Flirting Swallows
At the side of the path at Shollenberger, I noticed these 2 swallows playing affectionately. They poked each other comically until a dog came passed by.

American Bittern
These can be very hard to find because of their excellent camouflage. We probably walk past them more often than we realize!
