Look -- eagles!

Nature lovers who want to make a contribution without spending much cash can donate their time and enjoy the great outdoors by going on bald eagle counting tours. Sponsored by the Mojave River Natural History Assn., the monthly outings gives visitors to the Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area the chance to watch our America’s national symbol (which was recently taken off of the critically endangered species watch list) in their its native settings. The count is held on the second Saturday of each month; the next event one is Jan. 12. Admission and the outing are free, and barge tours at the park, 20 miles north of San Bernardino, are available by reservation. For information, call (760) 389-2303.
