During Tahoe Institute for Natural Science’s 43rd annual Mid-Winter Bald Eagle Count in January, a total of 31 bald eagles were tallied with 18 individual adults and 13 immature eagles. This figure is the nonprofit’s second highest count.
Last year, the count was a record high of 42 eagles. However, before 2021, tallies averaged in the mid-20s each year, according to TINS.
“As we collect bald eagle data in future years, we will learn more about their migration patterns and why eagles and other raptors migrate to the Tahoe region,” TINS stated in an email. | tinsweb.org
