Ridgefield Refuge is one of four national wildlife refuges, along with Steigerwald Lake, Pierce, and Franz Lake, that are located along the lower Columbia River in Washington. A local wildlife photographer finds the rewards of the Refuge's Discovery Auto Tour.
Come along on a journey up the Balch Creek Canyon from Lower Macleay Park to the Audubon Society Wildlife Sanctuary.
Every year, one of Portland’s most spectacular natural events begins: Thousands of Vaux’s swifts gather in the city and swirl into their migratory home in the chimney at Chapman Elementary.
Gresham has over a half dozen buttes that are part of the broader Boring Lava Dome complex created from eruptions 100,000 to six million years ago. Most of these buttes are clustered south of downtown and gently drain to the north by the main stem of Johnson Creek. Take a hike through Forest Park East and discover the forested buttes that rise above Gresham.
