Jordan Lake. We have not seen Dad Pitch or Mom Loblolly in their nest for a week. No eggs in the nest. Have not had a recent closeup of Pitch to know how his injury is doing. All of this means that this breeding season for this pair of bald eagles has ended without any chicks. I honestly do not know why there were no eggs laid: some possibilities could’ve been marauding immature eagles or the injury to Dad Pitch or interference caused by visitors or a combination of those or other factors. If I see Dad Pitch again close enough to know how he is doing I will definitely let you know. In the meantime we can all hold onto our thoughts, prayers and meditations for the next breeding season starting in December. Thank you again for all your love, concern and vast amounts of energy, in so many ways, in your efforts to provide Loblolly and Pitch the best of protection by trying to get the gate to shelter eight closed. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen

I admire your persistence in shepherding the bald eagles there, and the love you show for them. It shines through in your writings. Thank you for all that you share with us.
Thank you for your kind words and your support of both the bald eagles and me. The sharing allows me to add natural moments of vibrancy and life to our community. May I find, as often as possible, something on my journey that in sharing will bring a smile of contentment to each of you. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen
