Shelley Gregory with the The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Pinedale Field Office (PFO) says they are looking for volunteers to conduct a midwinter bald eagle survey on Saturday, Jan. 14th.
The Bald Eagle is considered an uncommon resident in Wyoming, although the number of nesting pairs in the state has increased from 20 in 1978 to over 100 in 2002. It nests along major river drainages and lakes throughout Wyoming with the most significant concentrations in Teton, Sublette, and Carbon counties.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department classifies the Bald Eagle as a Species of Special Concern with a Native Species Status of 2 (NSS2). For more information, contact Josh Hemenway, PFO wildlife biologist, at 307-367-5322.
