Fisheries biologist working with the Oregon Dept of Fish and Wildlife, monitoring coastal fall Chinook. Birder, forager, all-around amateur naturalist and photographer.
A pile of Chinook Salmon seen spawning in a tributary of the Siletz River today. This is fairly high up in the system, so there are still good numbers of live fish around. #Nature #fieldwork #Fish #Salmon #Oregon

At last, the subject of my work... a Chinook salmon, heading upstream. While not as dramatic as a nature doc, this stretch of the Salmon River is probably more representative of most salmon migration. #Nature #Salmon #Fish #thepeoplescoast #Oregon

More Owl-o-Ween fun! Sound on for this one. A Great-horned Owl visited this stand of trees across the street! #Nature #Birds #Owls
