Urban Wildlife

There are many small canyons formed by seasonal creeks on the east side of the West Hills. Some of the bigger ones have been kept as publicly-owned greenways. The Marquam and other trails climb through these greenways to the high point of the West Hills on Council Crest.

I enjoy hiking these trails, hoping to spot songbirds, critters and other sights in early spring. Sometimes blacktail deer can be see, always drawing a smile to my face.
