Its time to see what other birds, um, non-bald eagles are in the neighborhood.
 
Accipiters are fast hawks that chase other birds.
This is an immature Cooper’s hawk.
 
 
Just how many fish does this crow have in its beak?
 
 
Sometimes going away gives a spectacular view – this is a ring-billed gull.
 
 
The waters of the lake make a beautiful backdrop for this male eastern bluebird.
 
 
The American pipit is a winter visitor and a new bird for my Life List.
 
 
I almost always hear a killdeer before I see it and I better be looking quick for they zip past in a hurry.

HATCHED!!!
I don’t know yet how many and we won’t know until the chicks are big enough to peek over the edge.

The 2 year-old bald eagle came sauntering into the cove.
 Looked up.  Knew he was in trouble.
Petruchio, the father eagle, was going to make sure the eaglet didn’t get close to the nest.
Petruchio opts to fool the 2 year old and overflies it and lets the juvenile think it is now chasing the adult.
Watch the youngster’s face as Petruchio (out of our sight) swaps ends and chases the intruder from the cove.

Jordan Lake Rescue: Grayced: A new addition to my Facebook pages:
Hello! I am Grayced. I am Doc Ellen’s companion. We met 5 years ago at Jordan Lake. I was hungry, very hungry and hurt. Doc Ellen was hurting too. Doc wrote a great story about our journey together and filled it full of pictures (they are good even if I do say so myself). We want to share with you the history and the ongoing story of our lives together. So, you can meet with us in two ways: 1) join us on Facebook as I get my paws, um, Doc’s fingers on the keyboard on a regular basis to update our time line and 2) read about our history in the eBook Jordan Lake Rescue: Grayced – it is available for iBook and PC at http://www.dreamingsongsphotos.com. Ok. I am all groomed. Have gotten Doc’s fingers all limbered up and ready to type by tossing my favorite ball for me. We are glad you are here with us!!!!! Come by my Grayced the Cat site at www.facebook.com/GraycedCat/ and please continue to visit Doc and the eagles in the Jordan Lake Neighborhood https://www.facebook.com/docellen/
BTW, my Doc Ellen’s Journey will continue – am not replacing it with the Facebook page!
