Hello and Happy Monday!
During our trip to the Finger Lakes area we visited a lot of New York State Parks, we took many hikes to see various waterfalls. We rode past vineyards and hundreds of wineries, some were in a beautiful area with views of the lakes.
On May 22nd, after doing the hike at the Buttermilk Falls State Park we drove to the nearby Robert H Treman SP to see more waterfalls. We saw the Mill, Enfield Falls and the Lower Falls which was an easy walk. Then we were off to see the 115 foot Lucifer Falls. The Gorge Trail to Lucifer was closed so we took the Rim trail to the Lucifer Falls overlook.
The waterfall below is close to the Mill, I believe the name of this falls is Enfield Falls.
I am guessing this is a Hermit Thrush. Please let me know if I have the wrong id.
Below is a view of the Lucifer Falls, to the right of the falls is the Gorge Trail which was closed the day we were there. They were having a rescue training practice. We saw them carrying back a dummy on a stretcher. These are strenuous hikes, I am thankful for these rescue workers. The trees were in the way, I could not get a full shot of the Lucifer Falls.
The wildflower Trillium was seen all along the Rim trail.
The Thrush seemed to be more out in the open, I did hear others birds like the Ovenbird, Northern Parula , Wood Thrush and possibly the Scarlet Tanagers.
On this day we were not done hiking just yet, after leaving the Robert H Treman SP we drove to the Taughannock Falls State Park. I will share that waterfall and hike on another post.
Thanks for your visit today! I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

This is the Robert H. Treman Falls, it has a swimming area.
The waterfall below is close to the Mill, I believe the name of this falls is Enfield Falls.
The Mill and adjoining home were originally built in 1839 and restored in the 1920's.

Now we have to have a serious talk, Eileen! You went past several wineries and didn't stop in for a wee taste and perhaps buy a bottle or two? My goodness! And you are correct with the ID of the Hermit Thrush, by the way.
...I need to revisit some of these spots!
Tudo tão lindo e quantas belezas vocês viram nesse dias nos parques.Belas fotos! beijos, tudo de bom,chica e linda semana!
Hello, Nice to read your post.

You've certainly been getting your exercise!!! YAM xx
Such a great trail. Those rescue workers are priceless!
What a great series! I could not pick a favorite if I were being paid for it. A really super set of photos of a beautiful area.
Wonderful photos of beautiful falls, lovely birds and flowers, and lush green. Have a nice week.

Wow! I wish I had your energy! Beautiful photos!
Have a wonderful week!
Love those waterfalls. There's a rejuvenating feeling I always get when I visit one! They say it's the negative-ions generated by the crashing water.
Hello,
The waterfalls are so wonderful. Beautiful images! The wild trilliums are very pretty.
Happy Monday, and enjoy your new week ahead!
Tänk om jag hade sådana häftiga vattenfall att fotografera, jag skulle kunna tillbringa många dagar där, bara lyssna till vattnet och ta mängder med bilder.
Vilken härlig resa ni har haft!
Rim trail makes me a little dizzy looking at all those steps, but it sure is beautiful.. as are all those falls...
Beautiful panoramas...and fresh atmosphere.
Thanks for sharing this nice place.
Have a great week!
Wonderful green nature views Eileen, loved to watch. The waterfall is stunning and I would so much love to have a trillium in my garden!!!
Eileen, I love that verandah! I like the idea of being outside but not getting wet when it rains. Great photos and always birds. Thanks for sharing and have a great day! Sylvia D.
It's so much fun to go to a different place and see all the birds that are there! And the waterfalls are spectacular! We don't see many of them around here! heeheehee!!! Enjoy your day! (I'm in a better mood today...I hiked this morning! Went to the Hospice house this afternoon for visits too!) Hugs!
Wonderful waterfalls and scenery.
I always enjoy your photos Eileen, loved the birds you shared, as well as the pretty scenery and those waterfalls, the mill too and the trillium. Thank you and have a great week!
The falls are beautiful and great birds photos too. What a wonderful place too explore there's so much to see and enjoy.
Thanks for sharing and have a great day and a lovely new week.
You are getting a lot of exercise and seeing some great waterfalls, Eileen! And some good birds too!
Love the thrush most of all! And I like the name...buttermilk falls!
Beautiful place to visit! I wish I was there =)

your capture of the Hermit Thrush is beautiful!!!
SO nice!

Beautiful shots, particularly those waterfalls.
Lovely park - like the old buildings, waterfalls, and the beautiful bird
Such a beautiful place. Those water falls are amazing.
Magnificent waterfalls and love the little bird on the chain link fence ~

Really love all the falls...the Thrush and the Trillium. A great park thank you for taking us along!
Pretty place and nice waterfalls!
So lovely to see your waterfall photographs as well as the variety of birds.
Wishing you a lovely week ahead.
All the best Jan
Another wonderful hike. I always like visiting waterfalls. Love the music they make. Happy trails!
A wonderful post of beautiful waterfalls, birds and Trillium. Fabulous!
Wonderful shots. The falls are just lovely!
Eileen - you and I need to get together - these are just the sort of hikes that I like - waterfalls, woods, historic sites. The birds and wildflowers are a real bonus. How unique that there is a swimming area at one of the falls - seems to be akin to a good old fashioned swimming hole! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
So beautiful nature photos! Like these summergreen colors.
Wow you do some fabulous hikes. Loved all the waterfalls and the birds.
Thanks for the lovely photos. I always try to see the waterfalls whenever we travel. I always wanted to visit the famous waterfalls around the world but didn't manage that, but there are many others that I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
what a beautiful walk you found, although given the rescue workers on the trail it is clearly no walk in the park! Love the colours, fresh air and beautiful scenery and of course the little birds you spotted!
Happy days

how very beautiful!
I went outdoors yesterday morning, but didn't use enough bug spray. I am sore and itchy. sigh.
That said, I heard some wonderful birds. I really enjoy this time of year! Great birding, as ever!
The most beautiful mosaic I've seen.
Those falls are gorgeous!
The waterfalls are divine.
Worth a Thousand Words
I find the mill building interesting.
Coffee is on
Love the waterfall and of course the birds Eileen. Have a good week.
Hello Eileen,
Nice series of photos and a collage.
I love the falls.
Perfectly photographed, my congratulations.
Best regards, Irma
What a wonderful place to hike. I will show this to my son. He says there are so many beautiful parks and trails in New York.
I admire your photo outings. Tahnks for taking us along to the Robert H Treman State Park. Neat photos! Hope you are having a great week!
Gracias Eileen por estas maravillas. Cousteau decía que no olvidáramos que el ciclo del agua y el de la vida son uno. Me encantam.
Te deseo un buen miércoles.
Un abrazo.
Wonderful park.. Nice pictures and mosaic.. Cheers
That is a great park. Love the waterfalls---the first is a beauty as they all are
