Poor visibility postpones CdA eagle survey

WILDLIFE WATCHING — The weekly survey of bald eagles gathering at Lake Coeur d’Alene was postponed today because of poor visibility caused by the incoming storm.

Carrie Hugo, BLM wildlife biologists, said she saw enough eagles to believe that the eagle numbers are still high.  In last week’s survey she counted 217.

She said she’ll try again on Wednesday to do the survey.

But Montana outdoor photographer Jaime Johnson hit it right on Monday, coming before the storm and finding plenty of action for good, sharp photos, as you can see above.
