The Tahoe Institute for Natural Science (TINS) will be coordinating the 39th annual mid-winter Bald Eagle count on Friday January 10, 2020 from 9am to 12pm, and you are invited to participate. There are 26 stations located around the Lake Tahoe basin, and we would like to get these completely filled as soon as possible!  When responding, please select three preferences for survey station options (if unsure, please leave a comment regarding the general area of the lake you might prefer, where you are coming from, etc.)

The count is part of the National Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey that was initiated by the National Wildlife Federation in 1979. Over the years, the coordination of the national effort has changed hands a few times, and is currently managed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Most recently the survey at Lake Tahoe was coordinated by the USFS Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.
