You know that saying about “busy as a bee”? Just for the fun of it I caught this common eastern bumblebee gathering pollen and slowed his flight down, a wee bit. It was great fun watching a pollinator at work!

I think the sky weeps not for osprey feather finished with flight. I think the rain comes to lull feather and us toward a cool softly shimmering night of sleep. Rest well, Doc Ellen.

Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, Sunday, June 14, 2020. The Lake level is at 217.20 feet. What more could I ask for the beginning of a day or a week: cool dry air, humming river chorus, glowing sunrise and an osprey catching a fish for his chicks! Have a blessed day. Take care, be safe. Stay well.
Jordan Lake Dam and Haw River, Friday, June 12, 2020. I had been out this morning working with a horse and on my way back home I stopped at the lake. So you have a middle of the day natural minute. The ospreys were busy soaring up and down the river looking for fish for their babies. Usually birds knock off feeding in the middle of the day, unless, you have very hungry, very fast growing chicks to feed. Take care, be safe. Stay well.
