Wildlife near Spokane, WA
Spokane sits on its river in eastern Washington where forest meets scabland, and the falls run right through downtown. The river draws bald eagles, ospreys, and common mergansers, the ponderosa pine parks hold white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and marmots, and the neighborhoods run to California quail, magpies, and red squirrels. Moose turn up on the wooded edges more often than newcomers expect.
