lakeside home

This black vulture has good reason to be worried: people keep leaving litter in his beautiful lake home.

I see the vultures as part of nature’s maintenance force.

I would hate to see what a world without the vultures’ uncomplaining work would look like.

Please share the work of the Clean Jordan Lake Organization and the Army Corps of Engineers.

Tell others of the concerns of the vultures, the bluebirds, the eagles, the herons, the ecosystem we call Jordan Lake.

blue fog

The two-year old bald eagle was fishing in the fog on the river this morning.
I indulged my whimsy and let the fog tint my photo in blues – hope you like it.

blue sky

Nothing makes a fall sky more Carolina blue than the flight of an eagle.
In this case it is a two year-old, going on 3 in January, bald eagle.
Note the symmetric waves of primary feathers beginning their molt journey – this is a two-year old sequence.

upside-down

The red-tailed hawk rolled over and presented its talons to the pestering crow.
As the crow ducked under the upside down hawk, the hawk rolled back upright.
Suddenly the crow was the one being chased.
