Starting on Dec. 21, forest rangers will hold monthly get-togethers, where volunteers can meet in the mountains, grab a pair of binoculars and help observe the once-endangered national bird.
According to the U.S. Forest Service, counting events help authorities monitor the bald eagle population — which was close to extinction three decades ago — and track which areas are most populous.
After Dec. 21, counting events will be held on Jan. 11, Feb. 8 and March 8.
Volunteers can participate at any of five locations: Big Bear Lake, Lake Arrowhead, Lake Hemet, Lake Parris and Silverwood Lake.
No experience is needed to attend.
