Emma Colley's Random Travels
I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.
The Taughannock Falls SP was our third hike on this day and the last waterfall to see. This waterfalls was located in Trumansburg not far from Ithaca New York.
The Taughannock Falls is the tallest free-falling waterfall east of the Mississippi with a drop of 215 feet. This was an easy flat trail to the bottom of the waterfalls. We drove to the top to the waterfall overlook. The view of the falls from the overlook is the photo right below.
The stream flows into the Cayuga Lake.
The stream bed is made of limestone.
Tall cliffs were seen along the river up to the waterfall.

I checked the Ebird species listed for this park and there were 3 Swallow species listed, The Bank Swallow, Northern Rough-winged Swallow and the Cliff Swallow. I am not sure which swallow I have photos of on this post. Could it be any of the swallows I listed above?
Not sure of the swallow species below, which one? I also had a quick glimpse of a Belted Kingfisher.
