Fleischer said he thinks more eagles have arrived in the Willamette Valley because the dining is so good.
“During the winter, a lot of sheep…will die for various reasons and the carcasses are left in the fields, he explained. That’s what eagles key on without question.”
Fleischer said the winter sheep population has grown because farmers have changed the types of grass they grow for Oregon’s grass seed market. New grasses tolerate winter grazing and allow farmers to make more money by grazing more flocks of sheep.
“The increase in sheep brought the increase in eagles,” noted Fleischer. “It’s an easily accessed food source and eagles don’t have to expend a lot of energy to eat.”

Menke suddenly stopped, brought his binoculars up and gazed across an otherwise flat, drab-brown grain field (wheat harvest had occurred months earlier) with scores of black dots with white heads on the distant horizon.

PORTLAND, Ore Steve Terrill’s love affair with Oregon was deep and lifelong. It was often on full display whenever he visited the top of Rowena Crest in the Columbia River Gorge.
Not long ago, he strolled a section of trail that stretched toward the glorious Columbia River. He stopped every few yards to admire the incredible riot of color that had broken out.
“It’s an explosion of color out here, isn’t it,” exclaimed an excited Terrill during a morning-long photographic field trip to the Tom McCall Preserve at Rowena. “All the flowers are out and blooming. It’s like a rebirth of the world again … so beautiful out here.”
