Not at Jordan Lake… This is how my morning started. Grayced the Cat had been sitting quietly in my lap when we both heard a munch munch noise almost at my shoulder … 2 white-tailed bucks and a doe were happily having a feast of acorns right outside the window.

Jordan Lake. Doc Ellen‘s Natural Minute brought to you through the generosity of Captain Doug and his expert helmsmanship. We came upon an Osprey family. Mom Osprey to the left and her three chicks to the right. Note that they are starting to exercise their wings … but are still unsteady with their bodies. Flight is their goal!
Just Where Will the Bald Eagle Land?
Jordan Lake. I was tracking a male bald eagle, who was heading for a landing. His mate was watching his projected flight path closely. She was trying to decide just where he was going to land. Her expression as he landed is just too funny.
Two Fledgling Bald Eagles Playing
Jordan Lake. I was at the Jordan Lake Dam. Watching mostly ospreys. Then, along came this pair of fledgling bald eagles. The wind was nicely cool and just rough enough to really stir the two youngsters into action! They sure were having a good time.

Jordan Lake Dam. Doc Ellen‘s Natural Minute. Oh, it has been a while since I’ve gotten all the way down to the south end of the lake. Found myself here at the dam, sun rising and it’s a beautifully cool morning too. Have a blessed day, take care. Be safe and well.
Fledgling Bald Eagle Encounter
Jordan Lake. I heard the fledgling bald eagle screaming as it burst forth from the trees. Right behind the young eagle was a pair of fish crows. Apparently the eaglet had gotten too close to the fish crows’ nest. All 3 instantly banked back into the trees and I tried to follow them through the branches but they disappeared very quickly out of my sight.
