VICKSBURG, Miss. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Vicksburg District announces that Arkabutla Lake will hold its annual Bald Eagle Survey on January 4, 2025, from 7:00 – 11:00 a.m. Anyone wishing to participate in the event should meet at the Arkabutla Lake Field Office, located at 5500 Arkabutla Dam Road, Hernando, MS. These surveys provide an opportunity for participants to assist in monitoring the status of Bald Eagle wintering populations and distribution data. The survey helps by identifying key bald eagle resources when access to open water is most restricted at Arkabutla Lake. There is also an added benefit of scouting new eagle nests to provide an opportunity to obtain future data.
