Scenes from the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge in Sherwood, Oregon, Oct. 9, 2024. At the end of this month, many thousands of migrating birds will be visiting the refuge to take a rest while on their long journeys. The Refuge is open year-round to the public but many trails are closed October through April so that migrating wildlife is not disturbed. A wildlife photography blind is available by appointment only, and can be reserved by emailing the Refuge. Mark_W_Graves #birdingoregon #oregonbirding #tualatinnationalwildliferefuge
