Situated near the Willamette Narrows, Canemah Bluff sits on the ridge of an ancient Columbia Basalt flow where Ice Age Floods later washed away the soil, creating a small scabland of rocky outcrops. It is an ideal place for Oregon White Oaks to thrive, rising above wildflower meadows of Camas, Rosy Plectritis, Western Buttercup, large-flowered Blue-eyed Marys, and a very small population of the rare Pale Rock Larkspur.
There are many habitats (including a rich mixed-coniferous forest on the south slope) which are ideal to see an excellent variety of birds. On any given day we should easily find over 30 species, including those more frequently encountered such as Red-breasted Nuthatch, Bewick's Wren, Spotted Towhee, and the Pacific NW Song Sparrow, providing ample opportunity to learn their songs and calls. Less frequently encountered birds that we could see or hear include Pileated Woodpecker, Hutton's Vireo, and Great Horned Owl.
