| The country is different from Patagonia, lush and flat, a mixture of water meadow and marsh, with occasional weird trees. |
| Fieldwork was planned to coincide with high tides, which allowed the johnboat to travel closer to the marsh edge and further up tributary creeks. |
| The marsh supports American toads, midland painted turtles, Blanding's turtles, snapping turtles, and Lake Erie water snakes. |
| One evening we labored, stung by nettles and mosquitoes, to set up Sewell's camera blind on Otter Pond in the great marsh. |
| The principal game birds of Britain are grouse, partridge, pheasant, plus woodcock, pigeon, quail, and various wild duck and marsh fowl. |
| The main landscape feature is endless peatbog, surrounded by marsh, leading into morasses, sloughs and quagmires. |
