Since 1979, midwinter surveys of adult and juvenile eagles in South Carolina have been conducted as part of a national effort. Each year, ~ 45 standardized routes are surveyed each year by 100+ volunteers. The 2005 survey resulted in 536 eagles counted during midwinter, up from 36 during the first survey.
