    Community Briefs: Bald Eagle Hikes Offered

    The Bureau of Land Management is hosting free guided hikes to look for wintering bald eagles in the Cache Creek Natural Area in Lake County on Saturdays in January and February.

    Hikes will be held Jan. 28, Feb. 4, Feb. 11, Feb. 18 and Feb. 25. Hikes will be canceled in rainy weather.

    Anyone interested can reserve space for a specific date by calling the BLM Ukiah Field Office at (707) 468-4000. Hikes are limited to 25 participants and fill quickly.

    Participants will meet at 10 a.m. at the Redbud Trailhead parking area, eight miles east of Clearlake Oaks on Highway 20.

    The trailhead is just west of the North Fork Cache Creek Bridge.

    The 4-mile hikes last three to four hours. The trail includes a steep 600-foot climb in the first mile, so hikers should be in good physical condition. Hikers should wear sturdy hiking boots suitable for wet conditions and dress for cold weather. They should carry water, a lunch and binoculars, as most eagle sightings are at a distance.
