Description
The Jackson Frazier Wetland comprises a 147-acre parcel of protected land. A short 0.8 miles, looping boardwalk takes you through marshes dominated by willow, Oregon ash, spiraea, and marsh grasses. The boardwalk runs through a diversity of habitats, allowing for a high richness of birds in a small area.
In more open areas look for Black-capped Chickadee and Anna's Hummingbird. In shrubby areas along the trail or waterways, a few different warblers can be seen or heard including many Yellow-rumped and Orange-crowned. Bewick's Wren and Pacific Wren sing in the undergrowth. When the water is high enough ducks congregate in the ponds, mostly Mallards, Green-winged Teal and American Wigeons. Meanwhile look to the tree tops to see Band-tailed Pigeon, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and Northern Flicker. Raptors, such as Northern Harrier and Cooper's Hawk, may be patrolling the open areas, and tanagers, towhees, and waxwings can be spotted in the foliage. Virginia Rails are often heard in the tall marsh grasses.

Access
Jackson Frazier Wetland is in the northeast corner of Corvallis. It lies just north of a neighborhood, but the west access point has a small parking area, along with reasonably plentiful street parking. Click on the P in the map for directions or coordinates. The parking area contains one accessible parking spot. From there a paved walkway runs to the boardwalk itself, which is wide enough for two people to pass and possesses occasional benches.
