A morning fog produced poor viewing conditions, resulting in a count of only 33 eagles. This tally was dramatically lower than expected, prompting a second survey.

The evening -- or roost -- count produced 147 eagles, including two immature golden eagles.

On January 11, four refuge employees and 13 volunteers conducted a supplemental survey. The morning count produced far better and more accurate results than did the previous count. A total of 115 eagles, including one immature golden eagle, were recorded during the morning count. The evening count of 131 eagles was similar to the evening count of Jan. 6.
