It is the one place I'd go if I had to get a photo of a snowy egret in a hurry.
They are abundant and are typically in range of a decent telephoto lens.
Mill Creek Marsh is also amazing because it is home to a "forest" of cedar stumps -- including some that are hundreds of years old.

The Kearny marsh is a gem located just off Schuyler Avenue in -- where else -- Kearny. You access the marsh by turning into Gunnell Oval Park and driving around back.
