"Eagle Creek and Cascade Locks, Oregon ... November 9, 2011"

The Trip:    Overcast but no rain ... went for a drive to enjoy the last of the fall color ... ended up being a THREE GREBE day ... Eared, Horned, and Western seen at Cascade Locks ... Eagle Creek:    There is an overlook at the mouth of Eagle Creek, on the Oregon side of the Columbia River at River Mile 150. It is ONLY accessible from the east-bound lanes of Interstate 84. It is an enjoyable place to stop, as you never know what you will see when you look across the waters. Walk a short bit upstream too for more birds.
