Hi Peter,
I read all posts about the Columbia River trail and was quite amazed how much wild nature is left there. I happened to see a TV program about Osprey the other night as well as the 11th hour tonight. If people have some time to appreciate their environment and consider they are a part of it, things could be a bit different... maybe.
The stretch between Longview and the ocean is not built up that much, so has a lot of nature. Same for the stretch above Portland in the Columbia River Gorge.
Actually, by the end of the trip, I am sure we saw over 100 osprey. I was so excited to see them at first, but by the end, I wasn't even noting when we saw one.
Only saw about a half dozen eagles, and they were all downstream from Longview.
