Eagle Survey In Lake Mead

Lake Mead, a manmade reservoir, supports a diverse selection of animals, including the emblem of the United States – the bald eagle. A team of wildlife biologists from several agencies, including the National Park Service, fanned out in boats for their annual survey of the national bird. The numbers are put into a national database, which helps monitor the once-imperiled species. (Andrea Cornejo)
