Jordan Lake. You’ve probably wondered why there has not been a report from Doc Ellen on the bald eagle nests of late. The lake level has been so very high that I cannot get in to monitor the nests. Most of the boat ramps are so far underwater that boats can’t get in either. It will most likely be end of next week before I can get back to checking on the nests. Sigh!

CategoryWind Indicator
Jordan Lake Dam. Just in case, you know, if perhaps you were wondering what it took to chase all the rain away… Well, I think this great blue heron is a pretty good indicator of just how much wind it took to bring us this bright Easter Sunday.

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.
