I think the sky weeps not for osprey feather finished with flight. I think the rain comes to lull feather and us toward a cool softly shimmering night of sleep. Rest well, Doc Ellen.

Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, Sunday, June 14, 2020. The Lake level is at 217.20 feet. What more could I ask for the beginning of a day or a week: cool dry air, humming river chorus, glowing sunrise and an osprey catching a fish for his chicks! Have a blessed day. Take care, be safe. Stay well.

Jordan Lake Dam and Haw River, Friday, June 12, 2020. I had been out this morning working with a horse and on my way back home I stopped at the lake. So you have a middle of the day natural minute. The ospreys were busy soaring up and down the river looking for fish for their babies. Usually birds knock off feeding in the middle of the day, unless, you have very hungry, very fast growing chicks to feed. Take care, be safe. Stay well.

Jordan Lake Dam and Haw River, June 11, 2020. I got to the lake this morning just as the sun was easing up through the clouds and the light rain was falling on birds and human beings. The little iPhone and I followed several ospreys over the next 20 minutes trying to catch one of the ospreys fishing but they eluded me. I still enjoyed standing underneath my natural umbrella, a.k.a. pine tree and watching these graceful fisher birds work their way up and down the river. Have a blessed day, be safe. Stay well … do indeed stay healthy.
