A\u00a0couple of bald eagles have\u00a0been seen recently\u00a0near Lake Natoma, just about\u00a020 miles east of\u00a0Sacramento off Highway 50.<\/p>\n
During a visit to the lake on Wednesday, FOX40 spoke with several people\u00a0who reported recent bald eagle sightings.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was shocked that we even have them here,\u201d remarked Mary Ann Williams, who captured iPhone images of the birds perched high up in a tree while she was hiking with a friend a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know why, but\u00a0I looked up, and I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n
Wildlife experts say bald eagles are thriving due to conservation efforts.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the last 40 years or so, every wildlife agency has worked to bring them back,\u201d explained Andrew Hughan of the\u00a0California Department of Fish and Wildlife.<\/p>\n
Lake Natoma, surrounded by high dense trees, is a suitable habitat.<\/p>\n
