When is a good time to visit it for eagles?
Thanks
Thanksgiving onwards is great. However you really need a big lens (500mm or greater) to get good shots. This is because they are far away. on an island or on the other bank of the river. When they perch on the trees closer they are high up and the inclination is too much for a good shot. The only good circumstance is when one of the dam gates close to the parking lot opens. The dam gates do not open frequently. There is a phone number to phone for the gate opening schedules. Beware when the gates open the levels of the water rise very quickly and it is very dangerous if due to your your enthusiasm you are near the edge. It is really a frightening experience.
I would phone in advance about the times. I am not sure if they tell you which gate opens.
Good Luck
