Eagles of Jordan Lake
CategoryBald Eagle Sunday Interlude
Jordan Lake. After the bald eagle quarterly count this morning, a pair of bald eagles came by. That is mom eagle that you first see on the left. She takes a little dip and then a stroll.

Star-spangled July 4, 2022
Jordan Lake. Like our emerging nation in 1776, which wrapped itself in the Stars of Freedom, this fledgling Bald Eagle of 2022 is also wrapped in the stars of freedom. May we all cooperate to share our fragile democracy equally … with loving kindness toward all. Have a blessed and safe Fourth of July.

Just Where Will the Bald Eagle Land?
Jordan Lake. I was tracking a male bald eagle, who was heading for a landing. His mate was watching his projected flight path closely. She was trying to decide just where he was going to land. Her expression as he landed is just too funny.
Two Fledgling Bald Eagles Playing
Jordan Lake. I was at the Jordan Lake Dam. Watching mostly ospreys. Then, along came this pair of fledgling bald eagles. The wind was nicely cool and just rough enough to really stir the two youngsters into action! They sure were having a good time.
