A feeding frenzy erupted at the lake yesterday.

It was started by 4 white pelicans – yes, pelicans, you know, those warm climate birds…

that most likely for weather related reasons were at Jordan Lake.

White pelicans don’t do the spectacular fishing dives that the brown pelicans do.

Nope.  The white pelicans fish cooperatively using their feet and bodies to push fish into a tight mass.

Then the pelicans feast.  AND, the bald eagles saw a buffet open up on the lake.

Without hesitation…after all, they are Eagles… the bald eagles started fishing in the middle of the congregation.

So did the great blue herons, the cormorants, the gulls and the terns.

There were several fights between eagles.

For more than 45 minutes I watched, photographed and enjoyed.  I hope you do too.
