It's not uncommon to see antelope near Duncan Reservoir, but this is the largest herd we've seen in a long time!
Nestled in sagebrush rangelands, Duncan Reservoir is a great place for picnicking, camping, antelope watching, and (when it's not frozen solid) canoeing.

Rare interaction with a Giant Pacific Octopus! 🐙
These typically shy creatures are usually only spotted a couple times a year at Cobble Beach. Rarely has one showed off like this to so many onlookers, even popping out of the water to say hello!

Cougar and bobcat spotting near Alsea, Oregon! ❤
We didn't mean to build a cat bridge, but we aren't complaining. These logs were placed on Mill Creek by our fisheries and hydrology teams to help restore degraded habitat. As a bonus, local cats now have a new favorite walkway.

A rare look at the giant Pacific octopus, one of the most strange and intelligent creatures of the seas!
Spotting these creatures is no easy feat; they can change both the color and texture of their skin to match their surroundings.

Purple sunset over Oregon's only saltwater lake 💜
Somewhere between five and 23 million years ago, basaltic flood lavas covered much of eastern Oregon. Great blocks of the Earth's crust tilted and created the Lake Abert lakebed and Abert Rim seen today.
