Jordan Lake. First Nest. Captain Doug was out and about and got us a great photo of the chick at First Nest. Oh how quickly bald eagle chicks grow. As far as we know there’s only the one chick in the nest.
Growing Chick!

TagCaptain’s Nest Chick being fed
Jordan Lake. Captain’s Nest. The fuzzy bright white chick, directly in front of its parent, follows every move of Mom’s head as it waits for each bite of fish.
Chick!
Jordan Lake. First Nest. Oh my. Captain Doug and I were out on the boat yesterday where we could more easily see First Nest. On the right hand side of the nest is a chick about five-weeks-old, standing up and looking towards its parent on the left-hand side of the nest (you can only see the back of the parent that is reaching down into the nest so I don’t know which parent it is). Didn’t see a second chick in the nest yesterday but that doesn’t mean there might not be one where I could’t see it. Enjoy the growing chick!
Chick!
Jordan Lake. First Nest. CHICK!!! What a wonderful way for us to start this week. The pale green arrow is pointing up at the chick. Look for a medium gray fuzzy ball… kind of a triangular shape ball if you get my drift. Hope you enjoy the chick and I sure hope that at some point soon I can see two heads in that nest since most bald eagles have two chicks at a time. Enjoy!
Captain’s Nest bald eagle chick
Jordan Lake. Captain Doug and I were out checking bald eagle nests. At Captain’s Nest we discovered Dad and his chick enjoying the warm and windy afternoon. The chick is immediately below Dad’s beak. Dad and chick are both looking to the right. Second photo has arrow pointing at chick’s eye.
Eaglets Branching!
Jordan Lake. First Nest. Two of the three triplets have branched. When a bald eagle chick branches it jumps / hops / half flies to a branch above the nest. They use the nest as a safety net below them. This is the last practicing step before they fly! Look for the 2 sets of yellow feet on the branch above and to the left of the chick in the nest.
