By Great Egret Water Dance

Jordan Lake. The great egret came floating in about 50 feet above the water when it suddenly headed down and started to dance on the surface. He was looking hard to his left but I couldn’t see what had his attention. He danced a moment or two and then headed back to the shoreline.

By Lapis is Fixed!

Jordan Lake. My truck Lapis is fixed! Thank you one and all! My appreciation to all who through your thoughts, prayers and donations made it possible for the mechanics to go ahead and get Lapis Lazuli’s transmission replaced. We are back out at the lake through the generosity and loving kindness of each of your hearts. Have a very very blessed day. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen

By Lunch Went … Away …

Jordan Lake: The turkey vulture on the ground on the left is looking sadly down at the spot were there had been a piece of fish. Another vulture had just launched taking that piece with it. Then Captain Doug and I both spotted the bald eagle fledgling on the log as it watched the food morsel rapidly leaving their area. Alas.

By Update on Lapis

Mostly good news about Lapis my truck: I have been offered a loan, at low interest rates, for $5000 toward the repair of the transmission. The GoFundMe balance is currently $950. Would you consider helping me raise the remaining $850 of the total of $6800 for the repairs? If the additional $850 can be raised by Monday I could have Lapis repaired and be back on the road again and heading for Jordan Lake and the bald eagles by midweek. My thanks to all of you who have been supporting me with your thoughts, suggestions and donations. Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen Donations https://gofund.me/5c10e422 QR code in photo

By Juvenile Bald Eagles Will Chase Anyone

Jordan Lake. Captain Doug and I were still cruising on the lake when we saw an adult bald eagle come over the top of the trees and right on its tail feathers was a juvenile eagle. The adult did not have a fish so the youngster wasn’t chasing it to try to steal a meal. I do believe bald eagles sometimes just get all huffed up and have to chase anything that passes their horizon.
