16 September 2024 Three Little Birds

Seing these three reminded me of this old Bob Marley classic.

15 September 2024 Visiting Beaver Meadows

It was a beautiful day for a walk in the Allegheny National Forest. Beaver Meadows was our stopping point for trail time. Turkeys were plentiful on the walk.

We were hoping for more bird sightings while walking the boardwalk in the wetlands.

Fall was settling in on the water.

We traveled to Parker Dam to meet geocaching friends for a day of fun and socialization.

This rock is a magnet for park visitors.

12 September 2024 Strolling the Stream at Rogers Road

Summer was making the final turn as I made this visit to Cleveland Metroparks Rogers Road. There was still plenty of work for the bees.

This goldfinch showed signs the seasons were starting to change.

This great blue heron was quietly making its way along the shore of the Chagrin River.

Asters in the trail at the edge of the field were still showing off their colors.

6 September 2024 Watching a Great Blue Heron

I stopped for a walk at Sunny Lake after work. In a quieter area of the park I spotted this great blue heron. It had the smallest fish I have seen in its bill. It was not much of a meal, but the great blue seemed ready for a snack.
