Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River. Doc Ellen‘s Natural Minute. The lake level was at 219.42 feet this morning. It was also rather crispy cold this morning. As the wind started to come up after sunrise it got a mite bit nippy. But that did not bother the two eagles that were sitting in the tree above the sunrise this morning. Bald Eagles really enjoy cold windy weather. Hope you enjoy the pair of eagles. Take care, be safe, be well. Stay warm.

Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River. The lake level is at 220.67 feet. The world was bright with frost this morning at the dam. It was beautiful. Have a blessed day, take care. Be safe and stay well.

Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River.  Winter Solstice.  The riprap was busy!

1) the 3-year-old male bald eagle on the left had caught the fish and the 1-year-old female bald eagle barreled in on the smaller eagle and he dropped the fish.

2) the 1-year-old was very lazy and banked off to the right.

3) the 3-year-old male did a 180º turn and grabbed the fish a second time and then dashed for the treeline before some other eagle could try to steal his meal.

Instead of a partridge in a pear tree, how about 5 bald eagles and 3 great blue herons in this view of the Haw River Bald Eagle Gathering from the Jordan Lake Dam?
