Jordan Lake. The Bonaparte’s gull can easily plunge-dive to catch fish. In this video watch carefully and you can see sometimes they actually dive under the water rather like an osprey. However, the gull catches the fish with its beak and not its feet.

AuthorBald Eagle Tries to Steal a Fish…
Jordan Lake. Very occasionally I see an immature bald eagle think about trying to take a fish from a great blue heron. The juvenile eagle gets within about 6 feet of the heron’s long beak and backs out. I have never seen before what happened here. The adult bald eagle went after the great blue heron’s fish. Wow!
Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute
Jordan Lake. Doc Ellen‘s Natural Minute. The Bonaparte gulls have started to return. They visit here at Jordan lake all through the winter. They are a very elegant small gull. The sound they make reminds me of parakeets chittering.
Meander Invitation
May I invite you to meander through my fine art photo gallery? Perhaps you will find just the right gift for someone special this holiday season. There are many species of birds: eagles to hummers, mammals and butterflies, not to mention landscapes, lakescapes and turtles too. Please ramble and enjoy the Jordan Lake Neighborhood.
Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen

Last Day of November, 2022
Jordan Lake. Well, it is the last day of November and a windy soggy day at that. So, I thought I would try to brighten up our world a little bit. Here is a flight of bufflehead ducks that Captain Doug and I found, bright in the sunshine of yesterday afternoon, to lighten the mood of this mid-week day.
