Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge

My husband and I were on our way to Newberg, Oregon when we saw a sign for the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. We decided to stop by on our way back to Portland and check it out. When we got there it looked like there wasn't much to take photographs of but we decided to start down the trail anyway. As we got about 5 minutes in we saw these strange flying insects and grasshoppers. When one of the flying insects finally landed where we could get a look at it we realized they were flying mantis. As insects tend be skittish when you get to close them I used a telephoto lens to get macro shots of them. There were also hawks and different types of flowers that bloom late in the summer.
I would recommend this Wildlife Refuge to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and/or photography. There is many different area's to see and will provide many different views depending on the time of day and year.
