By Breeding Season!

It is the beginning of bald eagle breeding season at Jordan Lake. Captain Doug and I found this Dad bald eagle trying to work a branch into an area of the nest that needed repair before eggs could be safely laid. He is persistent!

The pier rocked ever so gently as the memories rippled across the lake.

By Construction

I was editing photos when I heard a soft ratatat (heard near end of video). The male downey woodpecker was enlarging the entry hole on the house wren’s house. I am going to have to put a nuthatch metal plate around that hole to stop the construction work. Then I need to put up different larger hole box for the downy woodpeckers to roost in for the winter. Downys like to roost but not nest in boxes. The house wrens have raised chicks in that house for the last three seasons. The woodpecker was having a good time!

By Carp Brunch

On the shoreline to the left of the four-year-old bald eagle you can see what he is interested in. He has flown in to get himself a piece of a carp carcass. In some ways I think the plumage of a four-year-old bald eagle is quite stunning. As to the youngster’s desire to have a piece of that dead carp, well, that’s on the eagle’s brunch menu but not mine!
