Just below the last rapids of the Haw River, near where Robeson Creek meets the river and they both enter Jordan Lake, there is a wonderful rock bank that I accessed by kayak. Just as I was approaching the bank, a juvenile bald eagle flew overhead, soon followed by another.  Undeveloped shoreline and mature forests like this along the lake provide a great place for bald eagles to roost and make Jordan Lake home to some of the largest populations of bald eagles in the United States.
