I was doing drone test flights over water at Soddy Daisy Park in Soddy; TN which is along Lake Chickamauga. Filed a flight plan with Airmap which saw no potential violations of airspace and environment.  Flew for approximately .4 hours.  While on sight; I checked Google map again and it had the area titled as a bird sanctuary.  I shut down the drone and switched to handheld recording.
UAS pilot learned they were flying near a bird sanctuary and landed as a precaution.
