eagles of Jordan Lake

The 2 year-old bald eagle came sauntering into the cove.
 Looked up.  Knew he was in trouble.
Petruchio, the father eagle, was going to make sure the eaglet didn’t get close to the nest.
Petruchio opts to fool the 2 year old and overflies it and lets the juvenile think it is now chasing the adult.
Watch the youngster’s face as Petruchio (out of our sight) swaps ends and chases the intruder from the cove.

It was cold at Jordan Lake this morning.
Really cold.  Wind chill of 13 F.  And then it got really exciting.
A 2-year-old bald eagle zipped through the trees carrying a fish.
Right behind it was an 1-year-old eagle wanting to steal the 2-year-old’s fish.
And then, well, see if you can keep up with the fish and the number of eaglets!
You may need to go full screen to see them all.

No photo today, but wanted you to know that Kate is on the nest and Petruchio is helping.
They got through all the wind chill and ice just fine.

Both Hershey and Godiva got through the frozen weather without any problems.
This is Godiva as she flew past carrying a large clump of pine straw and other soft materials for the lining of her nest.
She and Hershey had been in the nest together earlier in the morning.
