Great Blue Heron Brunch
Jordan Lake. 3 great blue herons were trying to share a section of the riprap while they were having brunch. These herons are always territorial even if it means trying to defend maybe 8 feet between itself and its neighbor. You’ll get to see that defense here.
Bald Eagle Tries to Steal a Fish…
Jordan Lake. Very occasionally I see an immature bald eagle think about trying to take a fish from a great blue heron. The juvenile eagle gets within about 6 feet of the heron’s long beak and backs out. I have never seen before what happened here. The adult bald eagle went after the great blue heron’s fish. Wow!
Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 09/25/2022
Jordan Lake. This morning it is a moment with a great blue heron and the only sound is that of the lake. Enjoy the peace and tranquility. Take care, be safe. Stay well.
