CategoryJordan Lake: First Nest report 11/12/2020
Kate, who is one big bald eagle, floated past me surveying the cove. She will be laying this season’s new eggs in about 6 weeks.
Petruchio was putting repair sticks into the nest, getting ready for the new breeding season.
Petruchio (look directly above the nest) is taking a break. It was great seeing the pair preparing for a new family!
Veterans Day, Wednesday, 11/11/2020
Jordan Lake: I am free in my pursuit to photograph our National Emblem because the Veterans we honor this Veteran’s Day gave us a gift we can just barely understand. These Veterans had the courage to accept the call to protect the Liberty enshrined in our Democracy – they accepted even though they might die for their faithfulness. My heartfelt thank you to those Veterans who are now memories and to those who still breathe the air they help protect. I hope this image of the American Bald Eagle can say what my words cannot speak: your selfless dedication soars on the Wings of an Eagle.
Doc Ellen’s Home Critters 11/09/2020
Pool Party! Honest, I was trying to work on my book, but then this pool party got started out front. So, yep, I stopped to watch the eastern bluebirds and the house finches at play. Hope you enjoy it!

Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 11/08/2020
Jordan Lake. It was very foggy this morning. But in the fog we get to watch a small wee little duck-like bird called a Grebe. This one is a pied-billed grebe and it is here for the winter. Altogether a serene minute for this Sunday autumn day. Take care, be safe. Stay well.
