Blacktail Deer
Late summer in the Pacific Northwest is always enjoyable. The last days of warm tmperatures and sunny skies set the stage.
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.

The vibrant blue sky really brings out the West Hills of Portland’s beauty. You can easily get to both Maquam Nature Park and Tualatin Hills Nature Park, and there are tons of trails to explore. It’s a great chance to see how the environment changes and to really soak in the special beauty of each day.
