Oregon's varied climate means wildlife activity is a year-round concern. Coastal regions might see more moisture-loving creatures, while inland areas like Bend experience distinct seasons that drive animals to seek refuge indoors. The prevalence of forests and natural spaces near urban areas increases the likelihood of encounters with various species.
