The dawn was gently layered in pastel pinks and blues. The elegant plunging body of the 4-year-old bald eagle was an arrogant jewel against the soft sky. The silvered spray of her capture was an accent point to the eagle’s successful fishing.

TagJordan Lake: Bald Eagle Fledgling
During the photography class this morning, we got a chance to watch this eaglet calmly, almost floating, fly past us. Always keeping an eye of all things happening at the lake, this fledgling bald eagle came by to see what was happening in his territory. What a great subject for my students! I thanked the eaglet for helping with the instructions.
Jordan Lake: Whose Tree is It? 09/01/2019
The 2 year-old bald eagle was sure that every tree in the neighborhood belonged to him and this particular tree was only there for his use.
The fish crow and Dad osprey disagreed with that opinion!
Jordan Lake Bald Eagle 08-27-2019
I was out on my friend’s boat this morning and this 2-year-old bald eagle stayed put until he didn’t… his launch was so powerful and close to us that I missed the outer edge of his wing. But, I don’t mind that I did, not at all!!!

The morning started off with the moon setting in a beautiful Carolina blue sky.
Then the eagles came by and then the ospreys.
First was Lady Lake, panting hard in the heat and humidity.
Then a bright-eyed 2-year-old harassed the osprey nest and arrogantly floated past me.
Dad osprey was showing his fledglings how to fish.
I wonder what the fledglings thought of the tiny fish dad captured!
Jordan Lake: Busy Bald Eagle Youngsters
The first half of the slideshow is about one of the H&G Nest bald eagle fledglings making a successful fishing strike.
The 2nd half shows the 2 year-old bald eagle who decided to visit Doc this morning. She was about 50 feet from me.
This is the 2 year-old in the video posted earlier today.
My little iPhone tries hard when making videos, but it can’t bring to you the stills that my Canon camera does.
