A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

Highlight on the Clark Path: Osprey in their nest

Written July 30th, 2024 by Hasso Hering

If you want entertainment on Albany’s Dave Clark Riverfront Path (as if walking or biking were not entertaining enough), check out the osprey nest on the railroad bridge.


Competition over nest resolved, for now

Written April 22nd, 2023 by Hasso Hering

If you were worried about the ospreys whose nest on the Albany railroad bridge was taken over by Canada geese, you can rest easy. The ospreys have given up and moved next door.


A riverfront conflict, and the geese have won

This is not the first time this has happened, but once again the big nest that generations of ospreys built on the Albany railroad bridge has been taken over by a pair of Canada geese.


A riverfront update: Look at that log pile

Written January 21st, 2023 by Hasso Hering

As you would expect, the pile of trash, logs and smaller bits of driftwood under the Albany railroad bridge on the Willamette River is getting bigger this winter.


A growing ‘attraction’ on the Clark Path

Is there anything special about the view above? Nope, not really. Except that the pile of driftwood jammed up against the pier is bigger than it was.


On the river: Check that pile of debris

Written February 16th, 2022 by Hasso Hering

Every winter, or so it seems, logs and other debris drifting down the Willamette River pile up against a pier of the Albany railroad bridge. It looks like trouble, but at this point it worries neither the railroad nor the Oregon State Marine Board.


It’s not what it looks like

Written June 20th, 2016 by Hasso Hering

At first glance, from afar, it looked like trouble with the Portland & Western trestle on First Avenue, where for decades trucks have now and then become stuck. But in this case, on Monday morning, trouble had done everybody a favor and stayed away.
