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.
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.
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.
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”.
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!
Jordan Lake. It is delightfully cool on the lake this morning. I hope you get out and about and enjoy some of the crispness … Especially since it looks like we’re going to have rain come in this evening, but, we do need some steady rain to soak the good earth gently. Take care, be safe.
