Jordan Lake. The cicadas were singing and it kind of nudged me, just a little bit… I hope you enjoy this morning’s minute. Take care, be safe. Stay oh so well.

Sudden Appearance
Jordan Lake: Sometimes bald eagles really test my reflexes! Captain Doug and I were out mid-lake when this female bald eagle suddenly flashed into sight. I had not seen her at all before she leapt. You can see that I was shooting her against the bright hot sun – not a photographer’s favorite shooting illumination. Hope you enjoy her sudden appearance into the day!

Blue-grey Gnatcatcher
Jordan Lake: I had a couple of inquiries into exactly what the heck was a blue-grey gnatcatcher … the little bird that was in this morning‘s natural minute. So here are a couple of photos of the little gnatcatcher and they are indeed small. They are about an inch or so longer than a hummingbird. They feed on all kinds of small flying insects and they really really love to get a mouthful of a spider or a mite.
Doc Ellen’s Natural Minute 08/16/2021
Jordan Lake, Right at the beginning of the Minute a tiny little bird dashes into view. It is a blue-gray gnatcatcher. It grabs a couple of mouthfuls of breakfast and then zooms on out. You can hear its sweet chatter as it’s hunting. Have a blessed day. Have a great week. Stay well.
