That is a big water passing by you and husband.
Looks like a great place for the river birds.
heron rookeries are really neat! I'm so bad with duck identification, especially if they're far away. Looks like a fun day, nice shots of the river!
Big, and gorgeous.
and especially when the flock of birds starts flying at the ame time.
These are excellent.

Nice photos, good place to visit.
It's been so long since I've been to Great Falls. It's a lovely place to visit. You captured the force of the water very well.
If you would like to see pictures of Great Falls that I took over the years, here is the link:

Great Falls looks like a pretty nice park. We will have to look into it when we come north again.
Beautiful pics!
Darryl and Ruth : )
The river walk looks dramatic and beautiful!
What a wonderful wilderness area to explore. Beautiful sanctuary for wildlife.
Nice area! Cool!!
Great photography, Eileen. And my favourite is the first image. Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice day
Oh what a great photos. Love those heron rookeries resting on the branches.
That rookery woulda had me peeing my pants...how wonderful to be there when the herons were there!!! Wow.

"on Sunday hubby and I took a walk" - makes one indeed glad to read about such a happy day, as life can become so much a race behind money and might. Very peaceful your photography, providing wonderful hope for this Wednesday. May it be a nice day for you all.
Looks like a lot of activity going on in the heron rookery. I still have never seen a heron "in person." These are all beautiful images.
What a great place for a walk and discovering nature Eileen. Herons over here start early and are on eggs now.
Loved your outdoor scenes for today. You did a great job putting them all in such an interesting fashion.
Wonderful photos, and I like waterfall most..
That looks a wide river - what beautiful falls.
Looks like a heron convention!

Do you get to go and visit the heron rookery during breeding season? What a great place for waterfowl and herons....Thank you for participating in Nature Notes... Michelle
Great photos! Love the heron rookery. It looks like a fabulous place to commune with nature.

What GREAT pictures! Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
I'd love to be able to see that rookery also. Great photos! Thanks for sharing them.
What a beautiful spot. I love the falls and the birds are always a pleasure.
Love the strong waters gushing! The birds are so much fun to see!
Eileen these are fantastic, the second one is my favourite.
All the best

One churning river! Great shot!
I always admire your nature photos!!! Very beautiful post!!!
Thank You for your vist today, Your photos of the river are great. And I like the photos of the orioles also. Ours just came back from the south 2 days ago they let you know they are back, with all that yak yak they make. A beautiful bird indeed. Have a great day, Julian
This would be such a beautiful place to wander! Lovely photos!
Did you do any white water rafting?
Such a beautfiul place. Do the edges freeze over?
What a beautiful area to explore. I really like your photo of the of the heron rookery. That is an amazing sight.
Glad to see this beautiful area between Virginia and Maryland. What a wonderful place for the birds to enjoy.
What a lovely place! The heron rookery really looks interesting, with their huge nests in the trees. I imagine the trees will be leafing out shortly and you won't be able to see them so well, but it would be fun to see the babies.
What a great heron rookery! We had a similar large one near Butte (at Warm Springs Ponds), but the bald eagles wiped it out (they prey on the young herons) over a 2 - 3 year period. Visiting in Portland OR, and the same thing is happening to a big heron rookery we viewed on Ross Island.
What a treat to see a heron rookery! I wouldn't have expected them to have nests in trees. They seem more like the ground-nesting sort to me.
Such an amazing place and captures Eillen!
Just came by. I'm still out of town.
Regards.
Thanks for allowing us to view the rookery and all your other lovely views virtually ... wonderful photo series.
Hugs and blessings,
