Jordan Lake. First Nest. Yesterday there was only a little wind so I managed to get a much better video of Kate and Bard at the nest. Watch as Dad Bard very carefully shows us his feeding behavior with his chick(s).

By First Nest Update

Jordan Lake. First Nest. Dad Bard was incubating the egg(s). He stood up, rolled the eggs and promptly nestled down again on them. Hatching should occur this coming week. Captain Doug and I were finally able to cruise yesterday – lake levels had fallen just enough.

By Where Did I Photograph “Fishing Bald Eagle”?

I have been asked where I took the photo for my New Gallery Give Away metal print “Bald Eagle Fishing”. I was sitting at the Haw River, just below the Jordan Lake Dam, on the riprap. The bald eagle had made one attempt, missed, winged over and on his second pass caught the fish. I just love it when an eagle looks at his catch clutched in its talons.

By Triplet Visits First Nest

First Nest had a visitor … one of last year’s triplets! I matched the plumage markings to the fledgling photos of last spring. The visitor was the smallest of the triplets. I have seen three times at the lake when a yearling showed up and visited its home nest and was tolerated. This is the first time I’ve seen one get closer than 50 feet to the nest! My goodness!!!
