Terry Stotts has been a class act. I passed him while riding my bike across the Tualatin River a few years ago and he was walking going the opposite direction. I realized that guy is tall; and that.
Lots of activities on tap at the refuge in May April 21 2021
Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge slowly begins to open up after more than a year shut down due to the pandemic. Take a quiet walk with mother nature. It will nurture your mind, body, and soul. A.D. Williams
May has arrived and it s a great time to visit the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. The seasonal trail has reopened. It is prime time for songbirds and their songs and calls fill the air. Many have begun nesting while others are setting up their territories. Take a walk on the trail and look for the brightly colored lazuli buntings, black-headed grosbeaks and western tanagers in the forest and common yellowthroats in the margins of the wetlands. Shorebirds continue to migrate though and killdeer usually begin nesting on the refuge this month.
A Momentous Anniversary for USGS Continuous Water-Quality Monitoring in Oregon Release Date:
April 16, 2021
May 7th, 2021 will mark 30 years of continuous water-quality monitoring in the Tualatin River for the USGS Oregon Water Science Center.
The water-quality monitor in the Tualatin River at Oswego Dam (station 14207200) was installed in May, 1991 as part of a cooperative study between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Clean Water Services the primary wastewater and stormwater management utility in the Tualatin River basin. A large water-quality monitoring network in the basin has grown from that initial study to support a wide range of USGS studies that have provided foundational science for improved basin-wide management of water resources. Although the USGS has monitored streamflow and water temperature at many sites for much longer than 30 years, it is extremely rare to have a continuous dissolved-oxygen record for such a long period of time
