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!

Jordan Lake. First Nest. Mom Kate had a big fish and she had a long way to travel to get it back to the nest. She was in a hurry! Then almost right behind her came Dad Bard with some fresh nest lining material. I don’t know how many chicks are in that nest but I can tell you this: they are well fed and pooping a lot so they have to be doing pretty darn good.

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!

Jordan Lake. First Nest. Mom Kate was in the nest feeding a chick or chicks. A bald eagle fledgling flew into the cove. I quickly saw that it was not one of the fledglings from First Nest from last year. Mom Kate and Dad Bard were also sure it was not one of their offsprings either.
