As most of you know, I visit many different places on Jordan Lake.
For the first time in a long while, yesterday I found myself at the dam.
The sun was wintery, and as usual at the dam, the wind was howling and it was cold, cold.
I sat down on the top of the riprap, half way between the dam and the end of the riprap.
Long hours through several years have taught me this:
going any further down river just chases the eagles further away.
Winter seems to stir eagles up and push them all over the lake.
Go to your closest boat ramp and look!
This 2 year old bald eagle appeared over my head and did a couple of what I call “sky jinks”.
He turned himself inside out, all mid-air, and then was gone over the horizon.

Eagle Nest reports and JL Neighborhood photo:
At First Nest, Kate is keeping the eggs warm and safe.
At H&G nest Godiva hasn’t laid eggs yet and Hershey is still bringing her treats.
JL Neighborhood is a new feature I am adding;
it will have a mix of non-breeding eagles and their neighbors, large, small, bird, mammals, etc.
Hope you all will enjoy it.
The 2 year old bald eagle below was fishing at the far south end of the lake.
The very early morning light sure makes him glow!
