Jordan Lake. The tufted titmouse was quite proud of his acorn. He showed it off in one direction and then to make sure you saw that he had it, he turned his head and showed it off from another direction. Then the titmouse looked at me and said “oh you do see my acorn don’t you!” Then he cocked his head at a jaunty angle and smiled at the world because he did indeed have one beautiful acorn.

Jordan Lake. Watch lower left hand corner! A pair of 3-year-old bald eagles realized an osprey, sitting across the cove, had a fish. Of course the eaglets were certain that they should have that fish. The chase was on. First clip in video is at normal speed and is followed with a very slow speed so you can actually see the osprey! What a wild chase.

Jordan Lake. The great egret came floating in about 50 feet above the water when it suddenly headed down and started to dance on the surface. He was looking hard to his left but I couldn’t see what had his attention. He danced a moment or two and then headed back to the shoreline.

Jordan Lake. My truck Lapis is fixed! Thank you one and all! My appreciation to all who through your thoughts, prayers and donations made it possible for the mechanics to go ahead and get Lapis Lazuli’s transmission replaced. We are back out at the lake through the generosity and loving kindness of each of your hearts. Have a very very blessed day. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen
