Jordan Lake. Early this morning, North America‘s largest rodent swam calmly into view. The beaver picked up a stick far down the shoreline, slipped back into the water with it and swam away.
Early Morning Swimmer
B. Everett Jordan Lake
TagEarly!
Jordan Lake. They have arrived … early! These are pied-billed grebes. I usually don’t see them until mid November. They are migrants who come down and spend the winter with us before they return north to their breeding waters. I think they’re darn cute.

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.
Doc Ellen’s Evening Note 10/07/2022
Jordan Lake: I found myself very much in need of some peace and tranquility this evening. I went back to this morning’s cruise with Captain Doug and brought up this great egret and then let the 12-year-old child within me have a hand in making this note and reminder that peace, contentment and tranquility are needed throughout this whole world. Have a blessed evening.

Jordan Lake. A moment of sun ripples upon the lake … enjoy the serenity and the light. Take care, be safe. Stay well.
Respect?
Jordan Lake. One should always respect one’s elder. The yearling bald eagle, on the left, dared the adult bald eagle over the right to have the (unseen) fish. The very brief bluff failed, royally.
