This wetland bird blind is can be found on the Silver hiking trail at Germantown.
This type of marsh wetland is covered in water and does not contain trees or shrubs. Among the plants found in marshes are cattails and rushes, which are grass-like plants with round hollow stems. Marshes provide aquatic habitat and food for many duck species, such as mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), blue-winged teals (Anus discors) and lesser scaups (Aythya affinis). During your visit, look for turtles that may be feeding on aquatic insects.
Germantown is designated as an Important Bird Area by National Audubon Society and a Watchable Wildlife viewing site by Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
