PORTLAND, Ore -- The eagles have landed! Join Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) park rangers at The Dalles Dam Visitor Center Jan. 25, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., to catch a glimpse of bald eagles that congregate near the dam every winter in search of food.
The Columbia River Gorge is a prime winter location for migrating eagles due to the abundance of food found along the Columbia River. It's typical to see dozens of eagles from the visitor center parking lot and adjacent Seufert Park, which are both open to the public every day from dusk until dawn.
The visitor center is currently open for eagle viewing Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to noon until the end of January. Park rangers will be available to answer questions, help people use spotting scopes (provided by the Corps), and teach basic bird identification tips. The Corps, and partners from the U.S. Forest Service and the Rowena Wildlife Clinic, will host a variety of fun activities, displays, and live raptor shows.
The visitor center and event are free and accessible to visitors with disabilities. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own scopes, binoculars, and cameras. Please note that inclement weather may cause the event to be rescheduled.
The Dalles Dam Visitor Center is located just north of Interstate 84 at exit 87, then east on Bret Clodfelter Way. For more information, contact The Dalles Lock and Dam ranger office at 541-506-7857, visit https://www.nwp.usace.army.mil/Locations/Columbia-River/The-Dalles-Lock-Dam/Eagle-Watch/ or follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/PortlandCorps/ .
