Raccoons feed along waterways and lakes on fish, crayfish, frogs, mice and other animals. They weigh between 15 to 40 pounds.

Western Grey Squirrel

Voles are small, stocky, rodents that are usually brown or gray. They have small eyes, stout ears and tails tat vary in length from species to species.

Weasel

The weasel is native to Washington forest areas, and live here in our abundant forest.

Salmon

Salmon make a difficult trip up river. Some travel as much as 50-60 miles a day to reach an area where they will spawn--which, as it turns out is usually the river in which they hatched. Pheromones (chemical cues) guide the salmon allowing them to find their birth streams.

Rainbow Trout

Once a rainbow trout leaves its stream to go to sea, it's called a"steelhead." After scattering widely in the sea for two or three years,they head unerringly back to their home streams to spawn. Not all rainbow trout head to the ocean and become steelhead. Most spend their entire lives in freshwater streams.

Mule Deer

Deer are usually solitary. They live in doe groups (doe with yearlings and fawns) or bachelor groups (all male).In WA not on foundation properties.
