Rockbridge Ohio

 On 5/4 we made an early morning stop before leaving Ohio. Nearby was the Clear Creek Covered Bridge and the Clear Creek Metro Park in Rockbridge Ohio.

This chicken was in the park near Lake Ramona.

This was a birdy area, saw the American Redstarts, Common Yellowthroat Warbler, Catbird, Bluebirds and Chipping Sparrows.





Some of the birds we saw were the male and female American Redstarts, Common Yellowthroat Warbler and Catbird. I am sorry the photos are not the best, they moved quickly and were camera shy.




We took the Hemlock Trail for a little distance, there were many wildflowers, a little creek and the hemlock trees.

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

Rockbridge State Nature Preserve

 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.

Safari Wildlife Park for Camera Critters

During our vacation in Ohio we stopped at a Wildlife Safari Park. It is located in Port Clinton not too far from Cedar Point amusement park. This is a safari that you drive your car thru and you can feed the animals that are close to your car.





 Unlike Disney's Animal Kingdom where they drive you thru and you do not feed the animals. A warning these animals are looking for food and will stick their heads way into the cars to get the food.




A Giraffe has really long neck and can really reach far places.  I managed to take some pic's of the animals that were at the car in front of us and all around us.




These two are checking us out to see of we have food for them.




This guy looks really hungry.




This one is a real cutie.




I had to show this too, my hubby and son are at the top right of this ride.





This is my entry for this week's Camera Critters and to see more wonderful critters go and visit Misty Dawn at Camera Critters

Thanks for stopping by to see my critters. Thanks to Misty Dawn for hosting Camera Critters!
