By doc ellen is going to be interviewed!
Dear Friends:
 
Oh, my.  I have just been invited to talk with Frank Stachio on The State of Things, on WUNC radio 91.5, public radio.  We will talking about my Bald Eagle eBook and my eagle observations at Jordan Lake.  I hope you have a chance to listen because it was the interest each of you gave to my work that inspired me to write a book about the lives of the Jordan Lake bald eagles.  The interview will be Thursday, July 13 at 12:40 PM.  I surely hope I don’t let the bald eagles or any of you my dear readers down! 
peace and grace,  doc ellen

By Jordan Lake Neighborhood 07/02/2017
This morning at the Jordan Lake dam was a rarity.
I often see several species…but today was extremely varied:
 
 I saw a bald eagle fledgling, the largest bird at the lake.
 
A ruby-throated hummingbird stopped by; the smallest bird at the lake.

 
A male osprey caught a fish for his nestlings.
 
 
Some immature little blue herons flew past.
The youngsters are not blue at all, 
but are white with black tipped wings, yellowish legs and dusky bills.
At first glance they look like great egrets!

By Bald Eagle Pestered by an Osprey; Jordan Lake Neighborhood
The tables got turned this morning.
Usually it is the bald eagle harassing the osprey.
Not this time!
The osprey, carrying a fish, dive bombed the bald eagle.
Sassed the big bird!
I don’t know why the 4 year-old bald eagle didn’t leap up 
and snatch the osprey out of the air or at least take its fish……
Interesting morning at the dam.
