AuthorOsprey Dad has Passed Away
Jordan Lake. The osprey father who broke his wing when he became entangled in the fishing line, has passed away. My thanks to the Rangers who rescued him, to Captain Doug for transporting him, to CLAWS for doing the very best they could with getting him proper medical care and hopes to rehab him. My thoughts about the careless fisherman are dark. I simply ask that we all try to remind each other to pick up your trash and carry it out.
Bald Eagle Chick Branching!
Jordan Lake. H&G nest. One of the chicks branched today! He went from just trampolining up and down on the surface of the nest to finding his courage and he popped over onto a branch. This is the last learning step before the chick leaves the nest in his first flight in a week or so.
Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 2022/05/09
Jordan Lake. I sometimes bring my breakfast to the lake … and … I don’t always know who will be sharing the mealtime with me. I crunched my protein bar and the squirrel munched the core of a pine cone. The wind scattered all our crumbs.
Hershey Supervises His Chicks
Jordan Lake. H&N nest. It was a very cold, windy, gusty, grey morning. That did not stop the bald eagle chicks in the nest from bouncing. Dad Hershey watched one of them get quite into the act of making big wings. Then he decided enough was enough and Hershey bailed out. #BEverettJordanLake #BaldEagle #HersheyBaldEagle #hawriver #jordanlakestatepark
Great Blue Heron Launch
Jordan Lake. Sometimes I think it is good for all of us to slow down a wee bit … even a great blue heron! He takes a very slow sip and shakes the excess water off the end of his long beak. Then the heron gives us a lovely launch all in slow motion.
