A bald eagle soars over Beaver Lake on Friday near Lost Bridge park. The tally was 136 bald eagles — 121 adults and 15 juveniles. That’s a good count, Bland said. A count of the south half of the lake is planned for Tuesday. The count at Beaver and similar counts around the nation go into a data base of bald eagle numbers kept by the U.S. Geological Survey, Bland said. A report and more photos of this year’s eagle count will be published in Outdoors on Thursday and at www. nwaonline.com.
