twitterBald eagles on rise at Lake Tahoe
Friday, Jan. 29, 1999 | 3:01 a.m.
"The number of eagles using the Lake Tahoe basin as a winter foraging area is up significantly since the survey began in 1979, when only two eagles were sighted," the agency said.
Nine eagles were confirmed on the California side of the lake and three in Nevada during the most recent count Jan. 15, the agency said.
Students from South Tahoe Middle School in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., helped 43 volunteers survey the birds.
The results will be compiled with nationwide surveys by the U.S. Geological Survey's Biological Resources Division.
