Jordan Lake. I was at the Jordan Lake Dam. Watching mostly ospreys. Then, along came this pair of fledgling bald eagles. The wind was nicely cool and just rough enough to really stir the two youngsters into action! They sure were having a good time.

Jordan Lake Dam. Doc Ellen‘s Natural Minute. Oh, it has been a while since I’ve gotten all the way down to the south end of the lake. Found myself here at the dam, sun rising and it’s a beautifully cool morning too. Have a blessed day, take care. Be safe and well.
Fledgling Bald Eagle Encounter
Jordan Lake. I heard the fledgling bald eagle screaming as it burst forth from the trees. Right behind the young eagle was a pair of fish crows. Apparently the eaglet had gotten too close to the fish crows’ nest. All 3 instantly banked back into the trees and I tried to follow them through the branches but they disappeared very quickly out of my sight.
Grayced the Cat in a Box
Like Goldilocks, Grayced wants things just right … in this case, um box, 9.50×12.25 inches fit him snuggly!

Jordan Lake. I caught the red-headed woodpecker couple on a little bit of video for you. One parent was in the nesting cavity – incubating or brooding – and its partner arrived. The parents traded off nest duties while I was watching. Hope you enjoy!
Red-headed Woodpecker Parents
Jordan Lake. This pair of red-headed woodpeckers have started incubation – can you see the parent inside the nest cavity in the 1st photo? Both parents incubate the eggs. The male usually takes night duty. The startled questioning look on the one that was down deep inside and popped out as the other parent disappeared is quite funny.
