By Upside Down

Jordan Lake. These two young bald eagles came boiling off the shoreline way to my left. You are seeing the third of the rollovers that occurred in front of me as the two bald eagles passed by. That is a four year old bald eagle that’s being really aggressive and the one that’s upside down is a three year old bald eagle. They were still tumbling and jostling for supremacy when they went screaming around the corner and out of sight.

By Osprey Dance

Jordan Lake. Ospreys often dance … the whole arc of sky their stage. This performance occurred this morning. I am glad I can share the moment with all of you.

By Hershey’s Hover

Jordan Lake, Dawn. This is the third hover that Hershey had done inside of four minutes. He came dashing off of the shoreline, went into a hover, looked, pulled out, circled around. He did that same hover, half dive maneuver once more. You are seeing the third hover that he held for more than 4 seconds. You can also see that he once again did not actually go after whatever it was in the water that had his attention. I sure wonder what it was that had caused the repeated attempts!

Jordan Lake: 09/10/2021. I believe these are black terns. Not often seen here. The small flock appeared to have both adults and juveniles. Identification as Black Terns has been confirmed by NC Museum of Natural Sciences. Birds seen between Vista Point and Ebenezer Beach this morning between 7 and 9 AM.
