I grew up near these wetlands and the change in the past 40 years has been so dramatic. we used to see only a handful of the wildlife inhabitants in the area now all the way from redwood city/Hayward down to Milpitas/Sunnyvale the whole place is teeming. Really gives a clearer historical understanding of how much has changed due to industrialization let alone the influx of people to California since, the gold rush.
