You even found a fine feathered friend too — looking quite dapper with that splash of blue!

Viva Village Nature Walk: Fanno Creek Park in Beaverton
October 1, 2016, at 9 a.m.
Meet across the street from 7375 SW Bel-Aire
We hope you can join us. Please meet across the street from 7375 SW Bel-Aire in Beaverton, just south of Denney. The trail enters the park between houses.
We will follow the red line on the map (about 1 mile roundtrip). Go north (left) on the trail for ¼ mile past the small lake and turn around. Go ½ mile south and turn around to head back to the cars.
Check out Yongkie's inviting pictures of this ADA trail.
“The site provides a popular trail for walkers, runners, and bicyclists, and benches for leisure. Bird and wildlife watching opportunities abound; visitors should be on the lookout for beavers, songbirds, waterfowl, and red-tailed hawks soaring overhead.” (quote taken from THRPD).
