Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, Friday, June 19, 2020. The last bald eagle of the spring. I hope the turning of the season to summer, tomorrow, brings health, joy and repaired relationships all around. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen.

Jordan Lake Dam and Haw River, Thursday, June 18, 2020. The lake level is at 217.30 ft. As the sun came up this morning, I could see more and more ospreys in the air fishing for breakfast for their chicks. Also, all through the video you can hear a blue grosbeak singing. Had the joy this morning of capturing the entire fishing dive of a parent osprey. Take care, be safe. Stay well!
Jordan Lake: Sloooow Bee
You know that saying about “busy as a bee”? Just for the fun of it I caught this common eastern bumblebee gathering pollen and slowed his flight down, a wee bit. It was great fun watching a pollinator at work!
Doc Ellen’s Evening Note 06/15/2020
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.

Ready. Light. Camera. Osprey. Action!

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.
