Eagles have returned to the Gorge just in time for The Dalles Dam’s annual Eagle Watch event. This year is the 14th Eagle Watch, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Dalles Locks & Dam visitor center.
Gary Elkinton photoTHE DALLES, Ore. --Looking for bald eagles? Look no feather — The Dalles Dam invites the public to their 14th annual Eagle Watch event on Jan. 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers park rangers and partners from the U.S. Forest Service, Rowena Wildlife Clinic, The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum and Perch Wildlife Education will answer questions about bald eagles and present live demonstrations of other raptor species.Â
This event is free and the site is accessible to visitors with disabilities. Visitors are encouraged to bring spotting scopes, binoculars, and cameras. Activities will be both indoor and outdoor, so please dress appropriately.
If you can’t make it, better luck nest time! (Just kidding.)
During the month of January, The Dalles Dam Visitor Center will be open every Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (subject to weather.) Staff will be on-site to answer questions, help people use spotting scopes and teach basic bird identification tips. Additionally, Seufert Park, which is adjacent to the visitor center, is open daily from dawn till dusk.
The Dalles Dam Visitor Center is roughly 104 miles from downtown Portland, as the bird flies. To get to the visitor center, take I-84 to exit 87, then go east on Bret Clodfelter Way.
For more information, please contact The Dalles Lock and Dam Ranger Office at 541-506-8475 or visit www.nwp.usace.army.mil/Eagle-Watch.
