By Bald Eagle Nest SURPRISE!

Jordan Lake: Bald Eagle Nest SUPRISE!!! at Captain’s Nest. You never know, during a bald eagle breeding season, how the cycle will end. Once in a while you’re completely surprised right near the finish … There were actually THREE chicks who fledged from the Captain’s Nest – usually there are 2 chicks. It is always difficult to track the number of eaglets while they are in the nest and Captain’s Nest proved just that. If you look just below the arrow you can see the face of the 3rd chick. We have now seen all 3 of the chicks fledged and enjoying their cove. Way to go Captain Mom and Dad! Triplets! My thanks to Captain Doug for sharing his photo and the Captain Nest journey with us.

By Flycatcher Competition

Jordan Lake: the lake hosts several species of flycatchers. In these photos you see two of them: a Tree Swallow on the left and a Great Crested Flycatcher on the right. Both of these species are cavity-nest breeders and will compete for the same abandoned woodpecker nest cavities. Both species also compete for the same flying insects. In the first photo the great crested flycatcher has nesting materials in its beak. There was a lot of competition for who got the best cavity for their nest … ultimately they both used the same tree with their nest cavities about 90degrees and 8 feet apart.
