Eagles of Jordan Lake

By Juvenile Bald Eagles Will Chase Anyone

Jordan Lake. Captain Doug and I were still cruising on the lake when we saw an adult bald eagle come over the top of the trees and right on its tail feathers was a juvenile eagle. The adult did not have a fish so the youngster wasn’t chasing it to try to steal a meal. I do believe bald eagles sometimes just get all huffed up and have to chase anything that passes their horizon.

By One of the First Nest Triplets!

Jordan Lake. On our cruise last week Captain Doug and I were checking all of the bald eagle nests – we routinely do that all year around. We got over to the First Nest Cove and lo and behold there was one of the triplets. I believe this is the biggest of the three. Thought you might enjoy seeing this youngster out and about and don’t you just love that glare?

Jordan Lake. Captain Doug and I were out checking on the Bald Eagles. We came upon this two-year-old female bald eagle. She was perched way up high in a tree and not paying any attention at all to us. She took off and made a fishing run. Watch the video to see how persistent in her fishing the youngster turned out to be. Hope you enjoy!

By Might Nigh Perfect…

Jordan Lake. I sometimes find that the transition between 3.5 into 4 years of age for the bald eagle presents a quite striking appearance. This eagle has not been injured … he is molting. Even though he might look a little ragged and tattered to us he is very sure that he is might nigh perfect.

By Dare the Sun

Jordan Lake. This morning was considerably cooler than it has been for more than a week. Apparently it was cool enough for this bald eagle to dare to cross above the glowing heat of the solar disk as it rose into the mists above the lake at dawn. Leave it to a bald eagle to be that arrogant.
