Jordan Lake. Oh, joy! I managed to photograph a chick in the nest with mom Kate. The arrow is pointing at the baby underneath her chest area (above arrow). You can see a silhouette of the head and beak as the chick is facing to the right. Too many shadows for me to have any idea yet of the age of this one.

Aw what a proud Mom. And what a lucky photographer.
Thank you so much for all the lovely photos you take and share with us. I find them – and your accompanying information – so fascinating. I love to learn about our local animal populations. Thank you for so often just making my day!!!
I enjoy the making of the photos. The sharing of them and what I have learned about the Jordan Lake Neighborhood brings me a sense of community and grace. Thank you for your kind words.
