Hi,

I lived in Friendly Village for almost 10 years (2004-2014). My mobile
home was right on Bear Creek, about 12 units up from the covered bridge.

We had a belted kingfisher that nested across the creek from my place. I
loved hearing their calls! There was a river otter that showed up
occasionally, and a beaver now and then. After the salmon spawned, there
were Pacific Northwest crayfish that cleaned up the bodies that drifted
downstream. The crayfish were about as big as a woman's clenched fist
(fingers only).

I loved all the birds!
