The Twenty-Fifth An-
nual Eagle Watch cel-
ebration at the Round
Butte Overlook Park—
sponsored in part by the
Confederated Tribes—is
in March this year.
The event had been in
February, but moved to
late March this year with
the hopes of milder
weather.
Note: This will be the
last year for Eagle Watch.
Eagle Watch weekend
features guided walks,
wildlife presentations, rap-
tor viewing and hands on
activities.
Cove Palisades State
Park Ranger Erin Bennet
says, “This is not so much
an end as a new begin-
ning.”
In 2021 the event will
expand, while still focus-
ing on wildlife. A change
will be that presentations
will include fire in the eco-
system, local history and
geology.
This year Eagle Watch
will be Saturday and Sun-
day, March 28-29.
