U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District park ranger Eric Steffey scans the sky and over New Hogan Lake, California, Jan. 5, 2024.
Steffey and fellow ranger Jennifer Celayeta counted seven golden eagles, five bald eagles and two eagles of unrecognized species at the lake while taking part in the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey the same day.
Rangers from 10 U.S. of the district’s water resource projects took part in the survey that is intended to help monitor the status of bald eagle wintering populations in the contiguous United States by estimating national and regional count trends, overall and by age class. Each January, several hundred individuals count eagles along standard, non-overlapping survey routes. (U.S. Army photo by Ken Wright)
