Out of the trees, over my head, burst a 2-year-old bald eagle. She saw me, and like most youngsters of her age, decided to show me just how much sky she could own and how many twists she could display. Enjoy!

Jordan Lake: First Nest report
The parent bald eagles, Petruchio and Kate at First Nest, were busy this morning. At one point the parents had a slight disagreement about who should be sitting on the eggs. It was interesting to see their reactions to each other.
