By Loblolly and Pitch update

Jordan Lake: Loblolly has still not laid eggs; gate is still open. This is how I prefer to see Loblolly – flying out over the lake to go fishing and not flying away from intruders. Here is the contact information for Representative Reives, mailto:Robert.Reives@ncleg.gov and his legislative Assistant Veronica Green mailto:Veronica.Green@ncleg.gov main phone: 919-733-0057 Jordan Lake is in his district. I would also ask that you follow this link https://www.ncleg.gov/Help/Topic/27 to the web site where all the NC legislators are listed to locate your local legislators in your own district and email or call them to let them know your concerns. Thanks for all the support of Loblolly and Pitch!

By H&G Bald Eagle Nest update

Jordan Lake. Mom Godiva likes to occasionally have a meal of bird. You can see the water splash trail as the cormorant that Godiva was chasing tried to first run and take flight, but then decided the safest route was to just dive under. Mom Godiva was not happy that she missed. I am sure the cormorant thinks otherwise.

By Update on Loblolly and Pitch

Jordan Lake. They still have not laid eggs. In the video that is Loblolly drying off. Pitch was way down at the other end of their territory, watching the world go by. Please note: I have been asked if while pursuing my advocacy for the bald eagles at Jordan Lake, especially Loblolly and Pitch, “if I was upset with rangers and everybody and anybody who is working at Jordan Lake Park”. My answer is a loud no, not everybody. It is Superintendent Mole and his supervisors that have decided to keep the gate to Shelter 8 open. I have utmost respect and appreciation for the rangers, maintenance and administrative staff at Jordan Lake State Park. These women and men work hard to protect visitors and provide them with opportunities to enjoy being within the natural beauty of the park. These workers are under the supervision of Superintendent Mole and so have to follow his directions. I don’t know where the rangers, maintenance and administrative staff at the park stand on the issue at shelter 8 – I simply know that all my interactions with them have been great. My continuing advocacy and request is for Superintendent Mole to direct the closing of the gate at shelter 8 and protect Loblolly and Pitch and their nest.

By Update Shelter 8 Bald Eagle Nest

Jordan lake. This is mom Loblolly of Shelter 8, down the shore line from her nest yesterday. I would have liked to have found her and Pitch working at her nest. Some cars were seen turning into the road into Shelter 8 yesterday and perhaps that was why no work was being done on the nest by the parents.
