An early afternoon stop at Salem Riverfront Park resulted in my walking onto the arched bridge over Willamette Slough. From there I looked down on several birds, not a usual experience for a mammal less than ten feet tall. Most interesting was to stand directly over a Green Heron fishing along the edge of one fishy pool. Only the crows were higher in elevation than I was.
