What’s In Season

Winter — The wetlands are in flood, providing a place for excess runoff from the Tualatin River. Migrating birds such as Northern Pintail, Ring-Necked Duck, Green-winged Teal, Canvasback and American Wigeon can be found in abundance. Birds of prey such as Bald Eagle, Red-Tailed Hawk, Red-shouldered hawk, Cooper’s Hawk, Peregrine Falcon, American Kestrel and Northern Harrier can be spotted.  Wintering song birds such as Golden-crowned Sparrow frequent the feeders.

The survival of the wetlands is a result of a remarkable partnership between individuals,
businesses and government agencies who see the wetlands as an irreplaceable community asset.
