I've gotten into a pretty good groove of bringing my camera with me on the walks I take on my lunch or breaks, and because of that, a large chunk of the 120,000+ photos I have in my archive have been captured in the Tualatin area. It's a weird little suburban city, with a hodgepodge mix of heavily developed industrial areas, residential neighborhoods, and wide swaths of protected wetlands. The natural habitats and the critters that inhabit them are my favorite part of Tualatin (my least favorite part is that everyone drives the kind of car that looks like an undercover cop's.) This is a smattering of pictures from September in Tualatin. Featuring: Northern Flicker, Turtle, Duck, Egret, Mourning Dove, and Nutria ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-2.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-3.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-4.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-5.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-6.jpg) The Tualatin River is really pretty too ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-7-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-8.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-9.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-10.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-11.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-12.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-13.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-14.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3f/1a/3f1a5bc8-4e8b-43ec-bcfd-6e772719b80b/content/images/2026/11/Tualatin-Critters-15.jpg) I watched this guy walk around and hunt for like 20 minutes.
