Jordan Lake. Captain Doug and I were out yesterday cruising the lake and we could not help but notice that the ospreys have most definitely returned. We saw at least eight or nine of them. I am so glad to see these acrobatic fishing raptors back home for their breeding season.
Yay! we could see a bald eagle chick in the nest. Dad Bard and his chick exchanged glances as they kept an eye on the neighborhood.
In the first photo you can just barely see the bright white sliver of the top of the chick’s head above the blue arrow. The white tail to the right of chick’s head belongs to Dad Bard. The other 3 photos are Bard leaving the nest and in flight.
Like Grayced the Cat may you find yourself asleep this night, safe against softness curved deep where dreams are calm and warm. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen
HP Bald Eagle Nest, Jordan Lake, is always way ahead of other nests at the lake in producing chicks. Mom eagle is checking out her two chicks who are about 5-6 weeks old. You can see both chicks in the 2nd photo, above the red arrows.
Oh, if only I had a way to share Grayced the Cat’s contentment into each and every heart that is beating – whether in the chests of critters or dare I say humans too. “If only” starts here with my words as I say good morning to you and gently ask that you spread the contentment to the next heart you meet.
