Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, Tuesday, July 7, 2020. The lake is down almost to normal pool of 216ft. Right now the lake is at 216.17 feet. But we have a lot of rain forecast to come in so I imagine those levels will change as the lake and dam set about doing their flood control work. This morning the great blue herons argued with each other and a pair of fish crows had a chat. Have a blessed day, stay safe. Oh please do stay well!

CategoryDoc Ellen’s Evening Note 07/06/2020
A quiet smile from Grayced as he drifts easily to sleep. May you too find peaceful rest this night. Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen.
Jordan Lake: Not 1, But 2 Fish at the Same Time!
Not One but TWO! Yes, two fish at the same time. One in each talon. The osprey tried hard to hold onto both fish, but, one got away; you can see the fish drop away. I believe this is a subadult male – about 2-years-old – and still without a mate. As strong and determined as he is, he probably won’t have trouble finding a suitable mate late next winter. WOW! Two at Once!!!
Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 07/02/2020
Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, July 2, 2020. Lake Level is at 216.52 ft. this morning. I thought we would spend time watching one of the other birds out here at the lake. This is a fledgling great blue heron. He’s trying to figure out how to get a fish. Take care, be safe. Stay healthy!
Jordan Lake: HELLO!
HELLO! I swung around to find this Dad osprey coming in quick, with a lot of curiosity in his face. What a neat surprise as the sun was arising!
