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.
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.
Jordan Lake. First Nest. Another of last year’s triplets visited its home nest! This time it was the biggest of the 3. Pine cones clustered near the young eagle’s head can make seeing the eagle a chore. In last photo Bard is flying right over the youngster after barely giving it a glance. Interesting!!!
Jordan Lake. First Nest. My first glance up at the nest and I thought my goodness I’m seeing a very clear shot of Mom Kate brooding. Got my lens on the nest and realized that a spindly branch that had been obstructing my view of the nest was no longer there. I do not know if one of the parents removed that branch. Perhaps they accidentally knocked it out of the nest. Could’ve been the wind that took it out. I checked the rest of the nest and it looked just fine. So, I’m hoping this means that mayhap I will be able to get better photos of the nest and it’s occupants for us to share!
Jordan Lake First Nest Neighborhood. Every once in a while … and it’s been a long while at this point … since I put together a series of small little clips of an outing at Jordan Lake. All of these are from this morning. There are five different species of birds. Hope you enjoy each and every one of them.
