Jordan Lake. I watched the two-year-old bald eagle launch. Found myself wondering if I reached my arms up high enough towards the sky could I somehow make feathers appear and I, earthbound human, join the flight? Oh my.
Possibility?

Tag4th of July, 2024
4th of July, Jordan Lake Neighborhood. 7000 feathers gives the bald eagle the freedom of flight. May our hearts – united from street to street and mountains to valleys to vast plains – give each other the freedom to discuss, compromise and decide how to let each soul have contentment.
Peace and grace, Doc Ellen.
Dad Bard Catches a Big Fish
Jordan Lake. First Nest. Dad Bard was quite anxious and more than ready to catch a fish for his youngster. He watched. He waited. I watched. I waited. We all get rewarded when we get to see Bard catch his fish!
First Nest First Fracas of the Season
First Nest Update. Mom Kate was a half mile away from me when she realized a 3-year-old bald eagle was too close to her nest. Watch what happens. A wild beginning to the 2023 – 2024 bald eagle breeding season at Jordan Lake.
The Chase is On!
Jordan Lake. Watch lower left hand corner! A pair of 3-year-old bald eagles realized an osprey, sitting across the cove, had a fish. Of course the eaglets were certain that they should have that fish. The chase was on. First clip in video is at normal speed and is followed with a very slow speed so you can actually see the osprey! What a wild chase.
Juvenile Bald Eagles Will Chase Anyone
Jordan Lake. Captain Doug and I were still cruising on the lake when we saw an adult bald eagle come over the top of the trees and right on its tail feathers was a juvenile eagle. The adult did not have a fish so the youngster wasn’t chasing it to try to steal a meal. I do believe bald eagles sometimes just get all huffed up and have to chase anything that passes their horizon.
