Jordan Lake. This one is brought to you through the use of my new camera and it’s video capabilities. Enjoy the sounds and sight of the Haw River as it exits the Jordan Lake Dam. Take care, be safe and stay well.

AuthorSunrise, Jordan Lake
Before I left home this morning, I had looked at the weather forecast. I arrived at the lake before sunrise this morning, knowing it was going to be a very hot day, once again! The rising sun sure seemed to emphasize the coming heat. Take care, be safe. Stay cool.
Size Differences
Jordan Lake: Bald eagle pairs stay close by their nest and close together all year. This mated pair gives you a chance to see the huge gender size difference in bald eagles. That is mom eagle (females are ALWAYS bigger) on the right and dad bald eagle on the left.
Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute
Jordan Lake, I took a look through the pine trees, across the meadow, to watch the sun arising. Have a very blessed day! Take care, stay well.
Bald Eagle Fledgling Ignores Us!
Jordan Lake: While out on the lake today with Captain Doug, we came across this bald eagle fledgling. The pattern of white and dark brown on his front makes him a “white belly”.
Follow-Up on Great Blue Heron and It’s Meal
Jordan Lake. Follow up on the eel versus lamprey photos that I shared with you. The NC Wildlife Resources Commission is leaning somewhat more towards an American eel. The NC Museum of Natural Sciences scientists are more certain that it is an eel. Since none of us had the critter in hand it does leave open some questions but I wanted to share you what we knew at this point. Enjoy this video of the same great blue heron eating its eel taken with new camera!
