Jordan Lake. Every winter I have come to expect to see 4 to 6 American white pelicans here on the lake. They showed up a couple of days ago and I finally got to see them yesterday. I became fascinated that in their flight sequences, when they are not beating their wings, and simply soaring … they often all do the soar pretty much at the same time. A serene flight.

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.

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.
Update: Loblolly and Pitch, Big Pine Nest
Jordan Lake. Update on Loblolly and Pitch, Big Pine Nest. The gate at shelter 8 is still unlocked as of 1:00pm, January 3, 2023. That is Mom Loblolly in the photo. She was coming up the shoreline and banked to head into the nest when she saw that there was a car in the parking lot and she banked back out again and left the area.
