4 Eagles Counted Today On Lake CdA
Four bald eagles were counted today at Lake Coeur d'Alene in the weekly fall survey conducted during the annual fall-winter congregation at the northeast corner of the lake. That's up from zero birds counted last Wednesday by U.S. Bureau of Land Management biologist Carrie Hugo last Wednesday in her first survey of the season. Eagles were at Higgens Point in the Beauty Bay area, she said. For decades, the eagles have provided a popular wildlife-viewing attraction as the birds are lured from mid-November into January to feast on the spawning kokanee that stack up in Wolf Lodge Bay/Rich Landers, Outdoors.
