The Trip:
Walked the path on the west side of the Sandy River, from north of the Troutdale Airport to just short of the Columbia River ... day was windy, chilly, overcast day ... we went in search of the Wrentit and SUCCESS !!!!!!!!!... also looked for the Say's Phoebe and the Mountain Bluebird spotted near the Troutdale airport with no success ... didn't really take many images except of the Wrentit ...
Sandy River Delta:
The Sandy River meets the Columbia River at Troutdale, Oregon, forming a wide delta. Walking/bicycle paths and an open area dog park line both sides of the Sandy River.
