Nothing scary here, for Halloween, unless of course you are a fish
swimming in the lake below this 4-year-old bald eagle.
Halloween eagle
Jordan Lake State Park
CategoryFierce Fledgling
Oh, I may be only a few months old, but I am fierce …
bald eagle fierce from my beak down through every single tail feather!
H&G Nest report: Godiva
Trust me … there is nothing quite like having a bald eagle study you.
Godiva soared over my head; sure of her place in the Jordan Lake Neighborhood.
Intent, but not on me …
There was a fledgling osprey screaming, somewhere behind me.
I swung around and found I had a lens full of eagle.
Between me and the sun, this 4-year-old bald eagle flashed past,
chasing the fledgling osprey and trying to get the smaller bird to drop its catch.
The osprey hung on, screaming, and dove between me and the tree I was under.
The eagle suddenly saw me and rolled over on a wing-tip and was gone.
The action was so close I couldn’t get both birds in the photo.
Peregrine Returned
The peregrine found me and my friend today and gave us a very, very quick look at him as he flashed past.
His patterns were stark against the very grey sky.
JL Neighborhood: Peregrine Falcon
Zip!!!!! A rare bird at Jordan Lake …
This peregrine falcon was chasing crows at the lake.
The crows were NOT happy.
I didn’t see any crows get caught but that didn’t slow their noisy objections.
Crow is high on the peregrine menu.
