Jordan Lake. H&G nest. Dad Hershey collected a stick for his nest repair. Then a fledgling bald eagle wanted to see what the adult eagle was doing. I think that the fledgling bald eagle may well have been from the H&G nest this year. Dad Hershey most likely would not have tolerated an unrelated immature bald eagle that close and would not tolerate it by this December.

Jordan Lake. I didn’t really expect to get any useful shot of this bald eagle. I was standing on top of the Jordan Lake Dam … 15 minutes after sunrise. There was mist coming off the lake and the sunlight was making a glaring mirror of the water. I was very startled to find that the reflection almost gives you more of the bird than the actual eagle. The photo is not in focus but I have certainly been focused on how sometimes a photo happens just because it does.
