Geocache Description:

As with all of our caches there is absolutely NO BUSHWHACKING needed to find this cache. (Altoids tin)

The Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge began as a 120-acre tract of wetland on the east bank of the Willamette River. It is rare for such a natural wetland to exist in the heart of a city. Part of the park is built on a sanitation landfill consisting of 400,000 cubic feet of construction waste material layered with soil. In return for dumping privileges for two years, local building contractor Harold LaVelle paid the city $5,500 in order to build the park.This area is a birdwatcher's paradise. Hawks, quail, pintails, mallards, coots, woodpeckers, kestrels, and widgeons are just the start of the list of birds that one might encounter in Oaks Bottom. The star of the show, though, is the Great blue heron, the official bird of the City of Portland. Oaks Bottom is one of the favorite places of a score of these impressive birds because of its proximity to one of the rookeries on Ross Island.
