Thirty Years Ago—and a Loss

I heard of a passing recently: Ralph Odell. In one of my previous lifetimes, I was able to go birding with three fellows: Henry Turner, Marc Breslav, and Ralph Odell—I was privileged to be on a bird-a-thon team with them in both 1990 and 1991. This was out of the Putnam Highlands Audubon Society, fifty miles north of New York City, in Philipstown, across the Hudson from West Point.

A bird-a-thon is a competitive event where teams strive to see as many species they can in a 24-hour period. We used this activity to raise money for our chapter, and would be successful enough to put up a building at Constitution Marsh Sanctuary, in Garrison, New York.

I had become a rabid birder immediately after moving out of Brooklyn in the spring of 1989. I fell in with the Audubon crowd in Garrison and made acquaintance with Marc Breslav (bearded fellow seen here). He, in turn, invited me to join their bird-a-thon team in 1990. Henry Turner (man with mustache here) was an outstanding birder who traveled the world building his life-list; he took me under his wing and taught me much about birding, for which I’m thankful. Ralph Odell (clean-shaven, seen alone in final image above) was a kind, older gentleman, soft-spoken, widower, who had been a school teacher in Garrison. Despite me being green, we won the competition during my first year, that of 1990.

I believe we typically began on Jones Beach, and Jamaica Bay, on Long Island, and worked our way back up to Putnam County. We’d then go further north and west, to Bashakill Marsh, over in Sullivan County, then back down to Bear Mountain, and other nice spots around the Hudson River. The point is to hit as many types of habitats as possible, and thus see the most species. After our win, I would be awarded a free week’s stay at the National Audubon’s camp on Hog Island, Maine.

But more importantly than that, I got to hang out with these people—we had fun, enjoyed the out-of-doors, and raised money for an organization that looks after the health of migratory bird species. I remember Ralph being a nice man, but it’s been a long time—his obituary reminded me of what I did know about him, and informed me of things about his life I did not know—I’ll link it here. I wish I’d spent more time with him when I had the chance.

The Best Waterfalls

New York State extends website from New York City itself straight up to the Canadian boundary. While high rises could overwhelm the City, with regards to regular excellence, you need to go out to partake website in the open country. Furthermore, appreciate it you will, since it is a jungle gym for experience sweethearts and the individuals who feel at ease with nature. Inside New York State, there are a few shocking cascades; streams generally show energy and those in the state are positively no exemption.

The variety that comes in the harvest time, as the leaves become yellow and brown prior to tumbling to the ground, simply adds to the setting. Niagara is consistently remembered for arrangements of the top cascades on the planet, so it requests incorporation here. It sits on the boundary between the USA and Canada. The three cascades structure the southern finish of the Niagara Gorge.

There is a drop of 167 feet and on a warm day at the level of summer, and the fog and shower made by the force of the water assist guests with chilling off. The pace of stream midpoints out at 85,000 cubic feet each second so there is minimal possibility freezing even in the coldest climate. The water comes from Lake Erie and gives to Lake Ontario prior to entering the St.

Lawrence River lastly entering the North Atlantic. While few individuals have known about these falls other than occupants of Philipstown, they are by the by great. You will track down them among woods simply a short stroll from the street. You shouldn't get lost, as long as you have taken bearings, and when you show up you will find water pouring down a tight crevasse.

It's anything but where you can swim yet it is unquestionably worth a photo, and the course frames part of a fascinating stroll along a footpath through Constitution Marsh. These falls are in the focal point of Rochester so there is not any justification for local people and guests to the city not to go there. You can remain on a scaffold and gaze straight toward the water as it pours down.

You can draw nearer for an alternate point of view of the falls and it is possible you will see anglers taking a shot at the lower part of the falls. Regardless of the metropolitan setting, the falls are inside a recreation area, which assists with isolating them from encompassing turns of events. Guests can partake in a lovely cookout region along a walkway towards the falls and pay attention to the force of the water. The feature of Letchworth State Park is most certainly the Middle Falls, additionally on the Genesee River. They are rectangular in shape and make a great photo.

Disheveled

Daingean, County Offaly was formerly called Philipstown, the name given to it in the mid-16th century in honour of her husband (Philip II of Spain) after whom this part of the world was also given the nomenclature King’s County. Philipstown was intended to be the county town (like Maryborough – now Portlaoise – in neighbouring Queen’s County – today County Laois). However, even before the end of…
