Wildlife along Rickreall Creek

A picturesque stream called Rickreall Creek runs right through our little town of Dallas, Oregon.  The Rickreall Creek Trail System follows along that creek, and is made up of eight sections, some of which connect, and some that do not yet connect. One of the most productive sections for wildlife viewing is the Heibert Section, which runs from the Dallas Aquatic Center east to an exit on Barberry Ave.  This is the section I walked on June 29th and took the following photos. I feel so fortunate to live just blocks away from this magical world of stream, trees, and wildlife.
