Beaver Creek State Natural Area, Oregon

July 1 2018.

Well, here we are back at Beaver Creek.  We were here last summer (July and August 2017) to run a visitors center and lead kayak trips as volunteers  for Oregon State Parks.  We share those duties with Steve and Laura, friends we met during our first visit to the Oregon coast in 2016.  Have worked with them in Portal, AZ twice and second year here at Beaver Creek.

Here's some links that talk about Beaver Creek and surrounding area.

Here's a link about Nutria in Oregon.



There's a camera in the Tree Swallow nest box (red arrow below) to observe laying, hatching, feeding and eventually fledgling of the baby Tree Swallow's.


About 7 miles of hiking trails around the visitors center and on the hill across the marsh.



Home sweet home.
