We started this month on Monday with an eagle – which was grand because we hadn’t had one in a long time. This morning, at 06:14 AM, Lady Lake appeared out of the rising sun and soared past me. My oh my. Two neat bald eagles for me to share with you in one week! I haven’t seen Lady Lake of the LL&H nest since the beginning of the year.
Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, Thursday, June 4, 2020. Two different ospreys decided to make an appearance while I was videoing the sunrise this morning. It’s a nicely warm but not too hot morning. It is not supposed to get quite as hot today as it did yesterday. A little bit of breeze starting to show up here. take care, be safe. Do stay well.
The 3-year-old bald eagle came in from the lake. Didn’t seem to notice me at all. Glanced to one side and drifted towards an osprey who was hurrying to his nest. Then the young eagle decided there were other places to explore. He switched directions, angled upwards and joined the clouds way above me.
Jordan Lake Dam and Haw River, Monday, June 1, 2020. The roar this morning is the Haw River – no turbines – just the river seeking release. This morning not only are all of our human hearts sore but the river joins in our chorus. And yet, we can still see hear the song birds singing. May we take their notes of greeting to the morning into our hearts and meet this day with hope. Greet the beginning of this week, the start of a new month with open hearts and a willingness to listen to each other and to work towards the solutions that are of equality for all of us. Take care, be safe, be well.
Fragile as onionskin paper, the dusk sky wrapped the moon in the offering of a translucent setting for gentle dreams this night. Sleep well. peace and grace, Doc Ellen
Jordan Lake Dam and Haw River, Sunday, May 31, 2020. I suddenly had an Osprey come up out of the Haw River and over the dam heading towards the main lake. You can see the fish dangling from his talons. When I got back around to looking at the Haw River again, below the dam, I said in the video that I could see two ospreys but when you stop and look at the video you can actually see five of them! Have a very blessed day, take care, be safe. Stay very well.
