Jordan Lake: This white-breasted nuthatch has found an egg case or perhaps a larval sack and is thoroughly enjoying his breakfast this cold morning. Didn’t take him long to finish off his meal and then off he went looking for other food. Take care, stay safe. Stay very warm!

Jordan Lake: Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute. I happened to come upon a male pileated woodpecker working hard on a branch looking for breakfast this morning. So grabbed a moment to video it and to share it. Take care, stay safe. Stay well.
Big Pine Nest update
Jordan Lake: Three of the three year olds – actually that’s all of the three olds of the gang of eight – have been pestering the nest this morning. Mom Loblolly finally caught one of them not really being on guard and she chased the 3 year old hard. I hope to put up some of the photos of that chase later. But thought I would share this natural minute of Loblolly after she did the chasing and she’s doing a little bit of grooming. Hope you enjoy the little video. #DocEllensNaturalMinute

Jordan Lake. On my way over to do my nest monitoring of Big Pine and also the H&G nest for today, I paused for a minute. I made a little video so that all of us could just simply enjoy the light of the morning. Please hold Big Pine in your thoughts and prayers and please continue doing as much contacting as possible of those who can help close the shelter gate. Take care, be safe. Stay warm!

Jordan Lake.
I was getting my gear ready to go and check to see if Mom Kate had laid her eggs. I heard a soft calling by a bald eagle and I turned around and watched one of the parents land in the tree very close to me. Still dark enough I could not see exactly which parent. Enjoy this Doc Ellen Natural Minute.
