PINEDALE, Wyo.—The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Pinedale and Kemmerer Field Offices are inviting volunteers to participate in the national Mid-Winter Bald Eagle Survey. The Pinedale survey is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 11, while the Kemmerer survey will take place on Friday, Jan. 10.

Volunteers should call the Pinedale and Kemmerer Field Office by Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025, to be assigned survey routes along public roads in Sublette and Lincoln County, Wyoming, and receive instructions on survey methods and eagle identification. Two-person observation teams are needed so that one person can safely drive while the other observes and documents eagles.

Since 1979, federal and state agencies as well as volunteers from the public have counted bald eagles throughout the U.S. every January. By monitoring and estimating national and regional count trends, an index of the total winter bald eagle population in the lower 48 states has been established.

Pinedale Field Office: Contact Theresa Gulbrandson at 307-367-5359.
Kemmerer Field Office: Contact David Merz at 307-828-4556.
