ospreys of Jordan Lake
TagEmpress
Jordan Lake. The first time I saw a female osprey my mind said “Empress“. There is something about the mind set and obvious command pulsing from an adult female osprey that brings that imagery of royalty to me. Enjoy this Empress of Jordan Lake.

Jordan Lake. This morning the ospreys helped sing the sun up into the sky. Have a very blessed day!
Osprey Fledgling’s Big Fish
Jordan Lake. While cruising with Captain Doug, from far off we could see a huge fish under the talons of an osprey fledgling. She was quite proud of the fish. Captain Doug got us around to where we could see the Osprey’s front. The fish’s head is missing. Most likely one of the parents caught the fish, removed the head and then gave the carcass to her daughter.
Osprey Precision Fishing
Jordan Lake. The fishing strike of an osprey is so swift that the exquisite maneuvering is difficult to see … I am happy I can share this moment by moment experience with you.
Hard Luck Osprey Fledgling Learning How to Fish
Jordan Lake. Hooray! The Hard Luck Osprey couple managed to raise a chick this year. Last year they didn’t raise any babies at all because of their hard luck with marauding bald eagles and a fallen nest tree. This morning I got to watch their new fledgling trying to learn how to fish.
