Jordan Lake. Hot? Yes, indeed hot! About 20 minutes after sunrise the sun had already burned most of the blue right out of the sky. Then, this two year old bald eagle showed up, panting. She perched and looked at me and then out towards mid-lake. The youngster stayed about 4 minutes and then flew around the bend and deeper into a heavily shadowed cove. I decided maybe she was smarter than me about the heat and so I soon gathered up my equipment and headed home.
Jordan Lake: Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 08/27/2021. It is Friday. Towards the end of the week of a lot of upheaval and disturbances and worldwide changes. May this Natural Minute bring to you a moment of peace within all of these changes. Take care, the safe. Stay well.
Jordan Lake: I was watching Mom Godiva on a speed run up the main lake, heading north. I did not expect her to go fishing. Suddenly she did an almost 270° turn and had her feet in the water before I could catch up with her. As you can see maybe Godiva was a little too hasty in her fishing? That’s a big fish. She didn’t quite get a grip on it and flipped it out behind herself. The fish didn’t mind Godiva’s disappointment. Eagle zero, fish 1.
Jordan Lake. The cicadas were singing and it kind of nudged me, just a little bit… I hope you enjoy this morning’s minute. Take care, be safe. Stay oh so well.

Jordan Lake: Sometimes bald eagles really test my reflexes! Captain Doug and I were out mid-lake when this female bald eagle suddenly flashed into sight. I had not seen her at all before she leapt. You can see that I was shooting her against the bright hot sun – not a photographer’s favorite shooting illumination. Hope you enjoy her sudden appearance into the day!
