The Elizabeth River is highly urbanized and difficult to access, hence the purple markers on the map.

I've marked the three starting and ending points in the videos below, but I would strongly recommend against all of them. The lower part of the Elizabeth River is bulkheaded for much of its length, more of a storm drain than a river, and the Arthur Kill looks filthy and a little dangerous. The videos are interesting, but I don't ever want to go there myself. The upper reaches of the Elizabeth River might be nice, although I don't see any obvious access points, and there are a number of weirs that could be a problem.

These birds are all associated with marine environments, but the truth is, they don't care. You'll find them wherever there is food. Since no place in New Jersey is really very far from the ocean, you can find most of these almost anywhere.
