If you use the search tool for this blog with Dan Hooker's name in it, you'll find a wealth of beautiful photos he has taken as he moves through the Columbia South Shore Well Field and the Bull Run during his work as a Water Quality Inspector.

 

Recently Dan grabbed this image of an osprey building a nest very close to one of the city's groundwater production wells on Marine Drive. He's watched a pair of osprey working on this over the past several weeks. The well field frequently plays an important  role in supplementing Portland's summer water supply.
