Big Clifty Falls
On Friday night we went on a Woodcock watch with a few people including the naturalist of the park, Dick Davis. He is very knowledgeable about everything in the area. He took us to a spot where Jefferson's and Spotted Salamander breed but unfortunately none were around. There were many egg masses however. We were successful in finding American Woodcocks. We were able to observe 2 on the ground and a few others doing their flight displays.
The next morning we started off with a bird hike. I would be giving a presentation later in the day for a group of people that are part of a Getaway Weekend. Many of these people were present and everybody was able to have great views of Cedar Waxwing, Eastern Bluebird, and Yellow-rumped Warbler. The birdwalk was followed by a talk about tree rings which I unfortunately missed while I was hiking around the park (I heard it was very good). I was able to see some of the demonstration in the field which was very interesting. Then there was a presentation about the history of the local geology then I gave mine. We will probably post segments of mine in the future but we have not used video very often and have lots to learn about it.

...congrats on your talk. That's very exciting. I love Clifty Falls and your photograph of the falls is gorgeous. You seem to have a specialty in capturing moving water.
Beautiful shots of the falls, Eric. (Although I could've done without the snake. Just my personal bias / phobia...)
Congrats on the bird song presentation! I hope you do post videos of the talk -- I'd love to see/hear it!

The waterfall photos are just fantastic. Will look forward to reading more about your presentation!
I just love cliff falls, is one reason I adore Wales they have lots of them. This is a great photo.
Simply love those shots of the waterfall! The snake - hmm..... since my knowledge of foreign snakes is at a minimum, I would run!
Yay! That snake looks dangerous, but I love how the water falls and the foamy whites.
I like the way the water pours over this falls. Cool shot.
The snake took me by surprise. Yeah! I jumped...but just a tiny bit. ;-)
very interesting post! I love the falls but I'm so afraid with the snake. Mine is here and thanks for viewing.
Beautiful shots but then I expect no less from you. :-)
Beautiful waterfall photos!! The snake was kinda creepy but a great shot too!
Great photos! I love Clifty!
I really like the snake photo. Ring-necks are such pretty snakes =)
The falls is pretty. I have never seen a snake like that.
beautiful water movements in the first picture!
Oh the falls is so very pretty & I love your photo - the water is gorgeous!
Great shots, I would like to get a little more rain, the creeks are a bit down for this time of year, but it only takes one system to fill them up and make them roar well done !!
Beautiful photos. I liked the snake.
Terrific shots...
