Bald Eagle Fishing

By Intruder at First Nest

Jordan Lake. First Nest. An immature bald eagle tried to invade First Nest in hopes of stealing the eggs. Dad Bard was the one incubating the eggs. The youngster – about a three-year-old – came barreling in straight at the nest and realized it had made an error. A very very fast encounter – all of about 30 seconds! Everybody was fine … including the youngster who I saw pop out on the other side of the tree line and go barreling up the lake. Whew!

By Quarterly Bald Eagle Count

This morning was the Quarterly Jordan Lake Bald Eagle Count. My group counted 4 bald eagles. The count started at 7 AM. Sunrise was at 7:24AM … I took this photo 15 minutes later. The “real feel temperature” was 27°F. Being in good company, we all chuckled, enjoyed the crispness of the air and the sparkle of the frost and were blessed to see those four eagles. It will be sometime before I know what the total count all over the lake works out to be. Given the flood conditions at a lot of the count sites some people were having trouble getting down to their normal viewing positions. Have a very blessed day and stay warm!

By Dad Bard Fidgets

First Nest. Mom Kate had flown in to take her turn in incubating the eggs. Dad Bard had been fidgeting – even while he was incubating – with a stick. So when Mom Kate came in he decided to do something about that stick. It becomes rather comical. Ah the foibles of being parents!

By Bard is Impatient

First Nest. As of Thursday afternoon mom Kate had not yet laid eggs. Captain Doug and I were out checking on the nests. We found Bard at First Nest being quite put out. He looked left, he looked right, he looked high and was wondering where the heck was mom Kate. Most likely she was out fishing for her own supper. I’ll be back out the next day or two and hoping to find one or the other of the parents in incubation. #FirstNest #DocEllensJourney
