We checked out the somewhat new Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge this morning. It is located roughly 15 miles south of Portland. Very nice place and great for waterfowl this time of year. The highlights included American Wigeon, Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Ring-necked Duck, Bufflehead, and Ruddy Duck. Along the trail we got great (and long) looks at a few American Kestrels and Western Bluebird. This is a great place to bird close to the city.
Are there any good NWRs in your area?topic posted Sat, February 10, 2007 - 3:21 PM by Kevin |
