They are all over the river valley. These two were near the outlet stream of the nearby fish hatchery. There are a few fields that will have mulies and whitetails at the same time.

oldest granddaughter, studying to be an epidemiologist at Oregon State, has a summer research job identifying tick populations in Oregon forests. She places peanut butter in the bottom of 5 gal white buckets by likely tick bush and then flips them upside down on the forest floor and comes back every two weeks to count embedded ticks. Along with the bait they place critter cams to track other wildlife attracted to the bait.
Apologies for the phone photo…
Mink at the boat launch. These critters are good swimmers. He caught a crawdad and ran off across the pavement an into the brush with it.

There was about zero light left when this dude finally entered the field. Hoping to get set up in a better spot this week so I can get him before the light leaves.
Bright white snowberries are quite visible against the green leaves.
Because the berries are high in saponins (soap-like compounds) they are not commonly eaten. Because saponins can disrupt fish gills and impair oxygen absorption, tribal fishers have added crushed extracts from plants rich in saponins to kill or incapacitate fish in streams or ponds. But this Townsend’s chipmunk was unphased by the saponins and filled its cheek pouches with snowberry fragments.
