These are some of the birds and butterflies I saw while staying at the Cumberland Falls Resort State Park in Kentucky.

Taken on May 7th 2018, a  Spotted Sandpiper was seen along the river right before the top of the Cumberland Falls.

A Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly seen on some wild azaleas near the Eagle Falls.

American Goldfinch outside the resort lodge.

This fat groundhog was seen outside the restaurant window at the lodge. I think it was watching me eat my breakfast, wishing he could join us.

I enjoyed watching this Song Sparrow playing in the water on the river's edge above the falls.

I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

Cumberland Falls Resort State Park

Happy Monday,

I am continuing our road trip. After leaving Mammoth Cave NP and Bowling Green Kentucky we headed to our next night stay at the Cumberland Falls Resort State Park.

This is a Google map of our road trip. The trip dates were from May 1st to may 11th.



On May 7th-8th we stayed at the  Cumberland Falls Resort Lodge,. We had a nice room in the lodge for the night. Their restaurant was perfect for dinner and breakfast the next day.

A view of the river above the falls.

Pretty sure this is a Song Sparrow, seen near the river's edge.

Rainbow at the Cumberland Falls.

The recent rain helped the falls look great with lots of water.

Me and my shadow at the falls.

The view of the river and park  from the resort's restaurant. I was happy to see a worker come along and fill all the bird feeders outside the windows.

Thanks for your visit today!  I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

North Point State Park

Happy Monday,

On Nov 16th hubby and I went on a wild goose chase, really it was a chance to see the Snow Buntings in Baltimore County at the North Point State Park.  We have been to this park often  here is my link to some  previous visits to North Point State Park.  I dipped on seeing the Snow Buntings, they must have left over night.  At least I did not travel far and we were able to take a nice walk in the park. Here are some birds and scenery we saw during our park visit.

A pretty Song Sparrow

 Common Mergansers in the Chesapeake Bay

A reflection of the sky on the marsh!

I think this is a Black Rat Snake, we saw a few snakes out on this day.

The Black Marsh Trail

A large ship out in the Chesapeake Bay,  in the background you can see the twin spans of the Chesapeake Bay Bridges.

The Snow Bunting were seen  on the rocks along this pier. The only birds we saw were the Song Sparrows, Common Mergansers and some gulls way out in the bay.

A view of the picnic tables and park and the bay.

As always I thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.

My list of memes for today, I hope to see you there. Thanks to both of the host below.

Hubby and I visited the Delaware Water Gap and East Stroudsburg Pa on June 27-29. We saw a lot of waterfalls and I found some birds along the way.

I took this shot  of the Baltimore Oriole while sitting in my car, I had to zoom to the tree tops way across the Bushkill Falls parking lot.

Below is the Wood Thrush seen off the trail at Bushkill Falls.

This Cedar Waxwing was seen at the Resica Falls.

Great Blue Heron in a dried up lake.

Louisiana Waterthrush  at Dingmans Falls

A large group of Mallard Ducks seen off the road.

More Mallards, I have never seen so many Mallards together.

A Gray Catbird from our walk on the McDade Trail at the Delaware Watergap.

Also on the McDade Trail a Song Sparrow.

Another bird on the McDade Trail the Brown Thrasher almost hidden in the grass.

I know these are not the greatest photos but I wanted to record the birds I saw while visiting Stroudsburg Pa and the Delaware Water Gap. I will show some of the waterfalls on another post.
