Jordan Lake, Haw River, Friday, May 22, 2020. Oh, the lake is way up because the rains came down. The lake is at 222.14 feet. Remember the normal is 216 feet. You can see in the little video where the Haw River is up right at the bottom of the fishing pier. I’m sure it’s going to go over the top of the fishing pier, probably before midday. There is a lot of debris floating on the lake. I chuckled watching the vulture this morning doing a drip dry routine. Y’all have a blessed day. Be safe, be well.

Dreams and butterflies are sometimes translucent – letting us see the world differently through mists of time and pastel wings. Sleep well. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen

A bouquet of wild carrots for your dreaming repast. Sleep well. Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen
Jordan Lake: Bluebird Fledgling Grump!
You know how teenagers are always hungry? That goes for fledglings too. A pair of sibling eastern bluebirds pester Dad Bluebird for another worm or bug or two. I have to say the expression on the bigger fledgling is very, very funny and oh, so much a grumpy pout. Enjoy!
Jordan Lake: Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 05/17/2020
This morning was more about the soft talking of the birds all around the top of the dam. It is okay if you decide to not watch, and just listen. Take care, be safe. Stay well.
Toothed Eagle? Pterodactyl?
Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River: Toothed Eagle? Pterodactyl? Oh Woe! This female bald eagle soared past me. I did a double take. I know that birds are the last of the living dinosaurs… But… This is crazy! An eagle with a beak full of teeth? In all honesty I think the “teeth” are a disruption of the form of her beak. But on the other hand, it’s kind of fun to think about maybe we still have a pterodactyl around and at Jordan Lake… I hope you are smiling with me and enjoying my flight of fantasy!
