While it is difficult to identify birds from a moving car, I know we saw some kind of Fowl on our way to Celebration Park. We also visited Dedication Point and Swan Falls (dammed) within the Birds of Prey Conservation Area. I didn’t do too well with birds, and the heat certainly didn't help. We followed these stops with the related World Center for Birds of Prey where we saw a couple Condors (obviously in captivity).
These stops took quite a bit of time, and we didn’t want to lose too much ground. We absolutely have to get to Eagle Creek tomorrow. That means we couldn’t make any more stops until it was time to look for a campground. We made it not just to Oregon, but the Pacific Time Zone as well. Since there is a gap between camping areas, we targeted an area near Huntington with two campgrounds. We actually checked out both, but the driver’s fear of dirt roads resulted in us camping at Farewell Bend.
It’s hot here, and there’s not much shade. Tomorrow, we will spend most of our time in the car. The Columbia River Gorge will be the only segment of this trip where we are familiar with our surroundings.
