Eagles Finally Begin CdA Feast

Bald eagles are finally showing some interest in their traditional winter feast of spawning kokanee at Lake Coeur d’Alene. Carrie Hugo, U.S. Bureau of Land Management wildlife biologist, counted only 57 bald eagles today in the Wolf Lodge Bay area.  That’s up from two eagles counted during her weekly survey two weeks ago and up from 11 counted last week. However, the 57 eagles counted today — 46 adults (white heads), 10 immatures (under 4 years old) and one unknown — amount to less than half of the eagles counted in Wolf Lodge Bay last year at this time, Hugo said/ Rich Landers , SR.
