Oregon is a place of dramatic changes as exemplified by state mammal Beaver, which plays an important role in changing and engineering landscapes. The lush, coastal forests of the Pacific Northwest provide a refuge for the Spotted Owl as well as several species of salamanders. Mountain Lions roam the Cascade Mountains, while Williamson’s Sapsuckers and Canada Jays frequent alpine forests. State bird Western Meadowlark can be found in the semi-desert east, where wetlands host dazzling congregations of waterfowl, Sandhill Cranes, and American White Pelicans. Oregon is a great place to observe and learn about wildlife. The challenge is knowing where to start, which is why it is helpful to have a portable reference like Oregon Wildlife on hand for getting acquainted with the most representative species. Beautifully illustrated, this rich collection features 140 mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, seashore creatures, and butterflies as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 wildlife-viewing hotspots and learning sites.
