Program Nesting Bald Eagle Population Site Monitoring

Approach

Known nest sites are visited regularly during the incubation and fledging periods to determine reproductive success. Monthly boat surveys during non-winter months are conducted to identify any new nest sites surrounding Lake Tahoe, and ad-hoc surveys are conducted in other areas in support of environmental assessments for proposed projects.
