Jordan Lake. A minute of lake chorus and several different birds singing and chattering and calling. Have a very blessed day. Stay safe, stay well.

TagDoc Ellen‘s Natural Minute 2022/06/01
Jordan Lake. I feel like I’ve been gone from the lake forever and it is with joy that I am once again back out within the Jordan Lake Neighborhood this morning. Hope you enjoy all the crow talk in the natural minute. Take care, be safe, stay well!
GoFundMe Goal has been Reached!
THANK YOU!!! My GoFundMe goal has been accomplished! I am misty-eyed and humbled by the expressions of care, concern and friendship from each of you – each of you in your own unique ways. I have ordered the equipment and it will be here this Wednesday. Then to Jordan Lake I go to do just as one of this year’s bald eagle fledglings is doing … seeing a brand new world. I look forward to sharing the Jordan Lake Neighborhood with all of you for many years to come. Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen
Where Has Doc Ellen Been?
Jordan Lake. If you have found yourself wondering over the last few days just where Doc Ellen might be… Well, I have been trying to get everything set up to bring my youngest brother up from South Carolina to live with me. It has been a very busy week so far. I am planning on being back out at the lake June 1. It seems like it has been forever since I saw the eagles and ospreys and the itty-bitty birds too. While I am away, if you have been thinking about my GoFundMe camera campaign and possibly making a donation, I am closing the campaign as of June 1. If you are interested in helping, here is the link. https://gofund.me/6643c913. Hang in there with this eastern bluebird and keep an eye out for the reappearance of Doc Ellen very soon!
H&G Nest has Fledged!
Jordan Lake. H&G nest both the chicks have fledged! In the last two days they both took flight. 1st photo is mama Godiva. 2nd photo is one of the fledglings coming in to land while Godiva watches it. 3rd photo is the Fledgling at upper right watching mama Godiva at lower left. 4th photo is Godiva to the left, fledgling in the middle and the other fledgling landed in the nest. Whew!!!
Fledgling Bald Eagle & Osprey Parent
Jordan Lake. One of the Fledgling Bald Eagles – I don’t know which one – got way too close to one of the osprey nests. Dad osprey was quite upset about that and decided to make sure the young eagle left the area. The inexperience of the Fledgling Eagle sure showed up as it ended up tumbling through the air. Both birds came out of the episode just fine.
