Jordan Lake Dam. Herons will sometimes drop one or both wings and stand as if in contemplation. I have seen many different species of birds, such as the bald eagle, display the same behavior.

Jordan Lake Dam. I thought I would start off our week with some relatively cool sunshine!

Jordan Lake. It was a full moon yesterday and almost still full this morning. BTW the little bird that dashed on and off the screen right at the beginning was a chimney swift. Take the gentleness of the moon with you throughout the day today. Take care, be safe. Stay well.
Follow-Up on Great Blue Heron and It’s Meal
Jordan Lake. Follow up on the eel versus lamprey photos that I shared with you. The NC Wildlife Resources Commission is leaning somewhat more towards an American eel. The NC Museum of Natural Sciences scientists are more certain that it is an eel. Since none of us had the critter in hand it does leave open some questions but I wanted to share you what we knew at this point. Enjoy this video of the same great blue heron eating its eel taken with new camera!
