Jordan Lake. Introducing Doc Ellen’s Snippets. I am planning these videos as a way to share with you a collection of several brief video moments that occur during a single outing in the Jordan Lake Neighborhood. Enjoy!
yellow-throated warbler
TagKirtland’s Warbler, update
Jordan Lake, Haw River, Wednesday September 30, 2020: Update on Kirtland’s Warbler – she is STILL HERE! Yes! I had wondered if last night’s rain and colder weather would send her on the next part of her journey, but there she was, 1) eyeing a protein packet 2) happily eating a spider protein packet 3) a yellow-throated warbler was also there. She has been active all morning, up until noon and then again in the later afternoon … I hope she is still there tomorrow and that those of you who haven’t seen her yet get a chance to do just that.

songbirds and flycatchers
Eastern Phoebe
This medium sized flycatcher was still just long enough for me catch its profile.
Prairie Warbler
This songster was a new addition to my life list. It is a summer breeder here.
Chipping Sparrow
He has a beak that is crammed full with insects.
Eastern Wood-Pewee
The pewee often has a favorite look-out perch branch and will return to it in-between catching flying insects.
This is a pair of wood-pewee fledglings that are playing king-of-the-perch-branch.
Yellow-throated Warbler.
Just how handsome can a bird get?
Carolina Chickadee
The bird to the right is the parent chickadee.
The bird to the left is a newly fledged chickadee – still very awkward in flight.
sunshine dollop
Ah, how’s this for a dollop of feathered sunshine?
He is a yellow-throated warbler…
wonder how he earned that designation…..
a new one for doc
A small package, um, bird was a great surprise today.
I found this yellow-throated warbler up high in the canopy at the lake.
This species is uncommon here, but sure a lot of colorful fun.
