INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — It’s time to polish up those binoculars. The Tahoe Institute for Natural Science (TINS) is hosting its annual Mid-Winter Bald Eagle Survey on Friday, Jan. 10, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Volunteers are grouped into small teams and stationed at one of 26 vantage points throughout the Tahoe basin, mostly around the lakeshore, to get an accurate snapshot of eagle numbers at the lake.
This annual event is part of a nationwide census of the country’s bald eagle populations. TINS took over local coordination of the monitoring effort in 2012 for the entire Tahoe basin and is now calling for volunteers to sign up via this link: https://www.tinsweb.org/midwinter-bald-eagle-count.
