" mike mckean/park ranger, u.s. army corps of engineers: and you get to see the clock, in the actual clock tower, so that's kind of, almost the highlight sometimes besides the birds of course. the u-s army corps of engineers park rangers are giving people a chance to climb inside the historic clock tower on the rock island arsenal. it's all part of their eagle watching tours.allowing people to see eagles from five floors up. [nats: walking up stairs...] park ranger mike mc-kean, says you'll see more eagles as the weather gets colder... mike mckean/park ranger, u.s. army corps of engineers: as long as there's a decent amount of ice on the river, usually viewing is pretty good. the ice just limits where the eagles can feed from, and down below the dams, that water's always churning." 10 saturday, january 16-th is the first day those eagle watching tours begin. they'll be at 9:30 in the morning and at noon... and before you head out to the island with your camera and binoculars, things to remember... reservations are recommended, because sometimes

(sighs) we don't have the resources to move the whole village to that site by ourselves. they would have to do it without any support. and that's where the divide is-- western science and the traditional ecological knowledge. somewhere along the lines both sides have to compromise at some point. otherwise, you will lose 450 people. >> until they can find somewhere to move to, the focus is fighting to keep the sea from taking what land they have left. the crew was able to stop the erosion from reaching the airport. but that means state officials didn't declare a disaster and the city couldn't receive funds for help. >> if we didn't do anything the airport would've been gone now. and right now, we're preparing for the next storm. whether we get paid or not. we just can't sit and wait. we gotta save what we got left. >> our american story is written everyday. it's not always pretty, but it's real..

agencies. so in 2008, the army corps of engineers did a study of whether the l.a. river was going to be navigable, in fact, or not. so, this created a huge uproar in the environmental community in the country, because everybody realized that this was going to be, um, a landmark decision, and it was going to impact the future of all the rivers, and all the waters in the united states. at the same time, george wolfe was planning to do this kind of tongue-in-cheek trip down the entire length of the l.a. river. so, he became a kind of pivotal questionark on whether this could be decided on a technicality, essentially. if he could prove that the river's navigable, that was all that it was going to take. but it was a kind of absurd shot in the dark. >> maybe in an hour or so from now, people in kayaks are going to be setting off down the los angeles river, on a trip supposed to promote the recreational use of the river, and also to prove that it can be navigated. joining me from the, uh, about-to-launch kayak central is george wolfe, who is coordinator of the los angeles river expedition.
