- Quiet marsh edges, reedbeds, river bends, or shallow wetland margins
- Protected habitat blocks within north America and related species in other warm freshwater regions.
Tips spotting
- First light and late afternoon are often best, when animals come out to feed along the edge of water.
- Watch the transition line between open water and cover, because feeding and movement often happen on that edge.
- Move quietly, stop often, and give the habitat time to settle; many mammals and insects show themselves only after the first pause.
