By Jordan Lake, Haw River: Ace the DareDevil Father Osprey
Ace the DareDevil father Osprey took a calculated risk and dared the river waters flowing between the walls of the tailrace to go fishing.  He appeared out over the lake, flew over the top of the dam, without hesitation dropped in-between the walls, and caught a rather large fish for his chicks.  The fish probably weighs about 2 pounds … Dad Osprey weighs somewhere about 4 pounds.  Awesome feat of fishing!  GO ACE GO!!!
PS: the green tint to the lower right of the slides is actually the leaves of some grass between my lens and the action.

Jordan Lake, Haw River, Friday, May 22, 2020. Oh, the lake is way up because the rains came down. The lake is at 222.14 feet. Remember the normal is 216 feet. You can see in the little video where the Haw River is up right at the bottom of the fishing pier. I’m sure it’s going to go over the top of the fishing pier, probably before midday. There is a lot of debris floating on the lake. I chuckled watching the vulture this morning doing a drip dry routine. Y’all have a blessed day. Be safe, be well.
