PRINT | E-MAIL

PORTLAND, Ore. —Break out the binoculars! Join the Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) park rangers and our partners for the 16th Annual Eagle Watch event, Jan. 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., to see bald eagles that congregate near the dam every winter.
The event will be held in two locations. Outdoor viewing of bald eagles will be held at the Dalles Dam Visitor Center and the indoor activities will be held at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum.
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 Dalles Dam Visitor Center is currently closed through January but will be open the day of the event for eagle viewing. Rangers will be available to answer questions, help people use spotting scopes (provided by the Corps), and teach basic bird identification tips.
This all-ages event is 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 541-506-8475 or follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/PortlandCorps/.
The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum is located at 5000 Discovery Dr., The Dalles, OR. To learn more about raptor viewing and educational opportunities in the Columbia Gorge area, check out the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum at www.gorgediscovery.org.

Cousin Curtiss / Taylor Kingman
2026-01-16 18:00 - 21:00 | Trout Lake Hall, 15 Guler Rd, Trout Lake, WA, 98650, United States
Friday, January 16th, 2026
$15 Advance // $20 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages
COUSIN CURTISSCousin Curtiss is a powerhouse duo delivering a high-voltage blend of roots rock, blues, and Americana that hits like Mumford & Sons meets AC/DC. Together, Cousin Curtiss, wielding rapid-fire acoustic guitar, incendiary harmonica, and a cannon of a kick drum, and guitarist Harrison B, whose tone channels David Gilmour’s atmosphere and Gary Clark Jr.’s grit, create a two-man wall of sound. Raw, soulful, and relentlessly energetic. “Blues at bluegrass speeds,” “rock Americana with a soulful drip”—whatever you call it, Cousin Curtiss and Harrison B don’t just play music; they ignite it and bring it to life.
TAYLOR KINGMANBetween his work fronting TK & The Holy Know-Nothings and his 2017 solo debut Wannabe, Kingman is no stranger to the darkness. But here he transcends the desolate rock bottom, as Hollow Sound whispers, then howls us into that place beyond brokenness where breathing begins again. To listen deeply to these songs is to lay down naked on the wet, unforgiving earth, pushing the ground through your fingers; it is to be soothed by the wholeness of who we are, filth and all. Kingman pulls no punches with his writing, and requires us to listen with the same honesty.
