Jordan Lake.
I was getting my gear ready to go and check to see if Mom Kate had laid her eggs. I heard a soft calling by a bald eagle and I turned around and watched one of the parents land in the tree very close to me. Still dark enough I could not see exactly which parent. Enjoy this Doc Ellen Natural Minute.
Jordan Lake, Bald Eagle First Nest: Mom Kate still has not yet laid her eggs. 1st photo Kate is in nest (see her tail to the left)and Petruchio is flying in. 2nd photo Kate has jumped up to branch above Petruchio (look for her yellow feet). 3rd photo Petruchio leaves and Kate watches him go. Tomorrow I will check again…
Jordan Lake. Mom Kate has not yet laid her eggs. This morning I listened to the two of them chattering for 2 hours in the trees, but I could not see them. Then out of the trees burst Petruchio and right behind was Kate. They dashed across the Cove and disappeared. I will be checking again tomorrow.
Jordan Lake, Christmas Day 2021.
peace and grace, Doc Ellen
Jordan Lake. Christmas Eve 2021. A sunrise full of light and tranquility. Take care, be safe. Stay well.
Jordan Lake. Every year I chase the opportunity to capture both a full moon and a sunrise at the same time. This morning I caught the last full moon of 2021 as it was setting and the rising of the sun for this day. Stay warm! #DocEllensNaturalMinute
