This morning at the Jordan Lake dam was a rarity.
I often see several species…but today was extremely varied:
I saw a bald eagle fledgling, the largest bird at the lake.
A ruby-throated hummingbird stopped by; the smallest bird at the lake.
A male osprey caught a fish for his nestlings.
Some immature little blue herons flew past.
The youngsters are not blue at all,
but are white with black tipped wings, yellowish legs and dusky bills.
At first glance they look like great egrets!
