Jordan Lake. Very foggy morning. Very quiet morning. Take the peace and gentleness of the fog with you through the day. Take care, be safe. Stay well.

Jordan Lake. The adult bald eagle is a magnificent bird in natural tones of dark dark brown and brilliant white. We tend to think of them as being black-bodied with a white head and tail but the body is actually feathered in dark brown. However, I do enjoy occasionally taking a chance on seeing how a bald eagle would look in black and white and silver tones. Hope you enjoy!
Size!
Jordan Lake. Bald eagles really emphasize size… when it comes to female vs male. I have posted many photos of a mated pair on a branch side-by-side and you see the size difference. This is the first time I’ve been able to really capture that size difference in flight. That’s the female above and the male below – you can see the differences in wing length and her over all size is massive compared to his.
Off Course!
Jordan Lake. Oh my! I was watching bald eagles this morning and as the fog lifted I suddenly realized there was a rather large white mass of birds out on the lake. They were American white pelicans. I see a few here most winters December – January. I have never seen this many before. One of the birders who had a spotting scope counted them and there were 40. They are way off their normal migration course. Neat to see!
Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 10/21/2022
Jordan Lake. A bald eagle floated across as I was making the video for this morning. I don’t know which adult it was. I was sure hoping it would turn around and come back and we could get a second look at it, but we will have to make do with the first pass only. Have a blessed day, take care, be safe.
Deer!
Jordan Lake. I thought I would send you a little tiny snippet of what greeted me this morning here at Jordan lake. Hope you enjoy the pair of white-tail deer!
