out of the misty morning at Lake Mattamuskeet this young buck appeared
wading through the marsh, looking for tender plants to nibble

Authorautumn thought
a tree, a thought, a moment of golden light at sunrise this morning
calculating look
now I would definitely call that a calculating look on the face of this 3 year old bald eagle
just what she is calculating is her secret…
aloof
At the age of two years, this young eagle has quite a regal outlook on life.
He almost totally ignored me even though I was only about 200 feet from him.
His demeanor glowed in the golden hour light this morning.
sol
At 07:36:46 this morning I was brilliantly reminded of the symmetry of the universe.
Sol’s light pierced the leaves of the trees and gave me a octagonal view of earth’s star.
surprised…
Jordan Lake surprised me again today.
I had been counting bald eagles for the quarterly eagle count when a large bird of another sort flew past.
It was a white pelican. I see these occasionally at Mattamuskeet or at the ocean shore but not here at Jordan Lake.
What a wonderful sight on a crisp autumn morning.
