Rockbridge State Nature Preserve

Happy Thankful Thursday,

While on our trip in Ohio we found the Rockbridge State Nature Preserve. We enjoyed a great loop trail that was very birdy. The park is known for it's natural rock bridge or arch. The Wood Thrushes were everywhere, singing and just hopping along on the trail in front of us. 

We started off on this trail, which was next to this farm land. Very pretty location, we could hear the cows nearby mooing. It was hard to believe this trail was going to lead us to a natural bridge.

We entered the woods, we saw and heard a lot of Wood Thrushes. 

The Natural Bridge. 

Birds seen in the forest and along the trail, Brown Thrasher, Wood Thrush, American Goldfinch, Scarlet Tanager, Common Yellowthroat Warbler,  White-throated Sparrow and more Wood Thrushes. 

Some pretty wildflowers along the trail.

Looking up from underneath a view of the natural bridge and a waterfall. 

A beautiful sky and the farm land, a view on our walk back to our car. 

A peek at the near by farm. 

I am thankful for all the park lands that are set aside and are kept as green spaces and all natural. 

I am thankful to be healthy to enjoy all these wonderful parks and trails for hiking. 
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.

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.
