We present our survey program to identify the gas-accreting forming galaxies at high redshifts. The extended Lyman alpha nebulae, the so-called Ly-alpha blobs, are the best candidates for the galaxies forming via gas-accretion. However, their properties (e.g., energy sources, LF and environments) are yet poorly understood. The initial results from our blank field, staggering 4 sq. deg survey of the NOAO Deep Wide Field Survey (NDWFS) Bootes field are very surprising. We have discovered two Lyman-alpha blobs, instead of the > 10 expected from number density estimates for similarly large and luminous blobs at higher redshifts (3
