Urban Wildlife in Northwest Oregon


Blacktail Deer

Summer in the Pacific Northwest is amazing. Warm tmperatures and sunny skies set the stage. Everything remains green due to the spring rains.

Urban trails and nature parks are great places to spot local wildlife. Even urban streets and yards are places to spot blacktail deer, squirrels and songbirds.
