I'm seeing a lot of birds that I don't usually associate with having a #SpikyHead in today's #BirdOfTheDay postings -- so much fun! Here's an American white pelican working through some things at St. Vrain State Park in northern #Colorado. #Birds #StateParks
A large white bird is swimming in a lake toward the camera's perspective. It has an enormously long orange bill and white spiky feathers at the top of its head. American white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) are quite large: body length is 50-65 inches (127-165 cm), weighing 10-20 pounds (4.5-9 kg), with wingspans of 96-114 inches (244-290 cm). Measurement information from Cornell Lab of Ornithology's AllAboutBirds.org.

A bird's nest fit for a pterodactyl brood awaits at the end of a very long boardwalk at Maumee State Park on Lake Erie; a spiral staircase lets you climb inside for the view.

These guys (& gals) are fun to see in person . . . from a safe distance away which respects this WILD animal's personal space.

Attn: The Trump administration is attempting to violate a judge’s order again. A judge blocked the reorganization of the Forest Service. Now Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the Trump administration is “full-bore ahead” with its sweeping Forest Service reorganization.

Out of nowhere: once protected, now at risk.

Formerly within the boundaries of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Dramatic low-key image of a flowstone mound isolated on a sandy flat near an uninterrupted wall of towering, deeply eroded cliffs. The mound is distinctively lighter in shade than the surrounding flats and the cliffs behind. The sky is rendered dark with a wispy cloud showing.

Some parks take extreme weather to another level!

Record heat at Death Valley CA, fierce winds on Mount Washington NH, and 140 inches of annual rainfall in Olympic's Hoh Rain Forest WA

What's the wildest weather you've ever experienced at a park?

2nd Hop of the Park Hopper trip Letchworth State Park was also the site of much CCC work (see ALT for more) and these guys were really, really fond of stone steps. Hiker on the Gorge Trail might be a bit less fond.
#photography #NewYork #hiking #StateParks
These are the last or first steps of the Gorge Trail and I think the most steps at one go. They lokms (and feel) like they go on forever. The Civilian Conservation Corps was started in the Depression to give work and shelter to men 18-25. The CCC worked in many national and state parks, including the state park just a few miles from my home. Here's a link about the work of CCC in Indiana: https://www.in.gov/dnr/state-parks/cultural-resources-and-history/the-new-deal-and-indiana-state-parks/ These stone steps with a a stone wall on one side and a cliff on the other start the climb out of the gorge after visiting the lower falls. There is also a different set of steps going down and a sign warns you that there are 175 of them.

This video speaks on the urgency of climate disaster, but there is one unknown obstacle that is already set in place, ecological overshoot. I'd like to be more hopeful, but Im realistic and the populous hasn't changed in years.

The Midwest deserves more credit for its incredible parks!

Sand dunes at Indiana Dunes IN, dramatic cliffs at Devil's Lake WI, wildlife at Custer SD, & waterfalls at Starved Rock IL

Which Midwest state or national park deserves more attention?

Parks aren't just great for getting outside. They're great for meeting people, too!

From hiking in the Smokies and ranger walks at Acadia to group tours at Niagara Falls, there's plenty to bond over.

Have you ever made a new friend while exploring a park?

Copper Falls State Park in Wisconsin was created in 1929 and developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Project Administration in the 30’s. Two of their projects were the rustic fencing and the stone steps. They did amazing work.
