Fossils are especially noticeable near the Turkey Path, in Leonard Harrison State Park and in the creek itself. The highway bridge along RT. 6 is pretty in all seasons. We pass under it. The “Blue Moon” at pre-dawn one morning at the confluence of Pine Creek and Marsh Creek. Mile 8.0 (Mile 8.0) South of the highway bridge, we get our first look at Pine Creek. Pine Creek and Marsh Creek merge and head south. This is a particularly tranquil section of the Pine Creek Trail. Look for eagles in this area. The long row of pines on the other side of Pine Creek often hosts sitting eagles while they watch for fish in the creek. An adult eagle at Darling Run. There will often be Canada geese here, too. On occasion, there will be fly fishermen in the creek. Pine Creek is well …show more content…
Just north of the train station is a brown wooden marker identifying “Cole Furman Run.” Stop just north of this marker in the first open area, where there are few trees between the trail and Pine Creek. The opposite shore should be clearly visible now. An eaglet in the Darling Run eagle nest. Across the creek, on the creek flat, is a large white pine tree mixed among other deciduous trees. It is quite a ways away. About two thirds up the pine tree will be the large nest. The nest has been in this location for years. Each year the adult eagles add new materials to the nest in order to ready it for raising a new family. That’s why the nest is so large. Eels are another interesting resident of the Pine Creek Gorge. The American eel is a skinny, long, fishlike creature with a fused dorsal fin. Although they look snakelike, they are harmless. Eels used to migrate yearly from the Chesapeake Bay but have been blocked by the large dams on the Susquehanna River. Young eels were captured below the dams and transported here to continue their life span in these home waters. Eels are hosts for mussels which help purify the waters of Pine

Today June 19th 1865, the events at Owl Creek Bridge are proof that the North is unwilling to take separation as an answer. A man named Peyton Farquhar shot at the Northern soldiers. This man from the South somehow knew about our Union encampment. “He fired on our soldiers,”said an unnamed army Captian. “We caught him near our encampment at Owl Creek Bridge,”he said.

During its early stages this friends group helped develop fourteen miles of blazed trails with trailheads and maps, for hiking, biking, birding, and horseback riding. In 2008, the group helped open the Environmental Learning Center in the park. This facility used to be a farmhouse, and home to the park manager back in the day. Then in 2010, the outdoor classroom was added onto the property.
As you can tell from the title, something big happened at the Owl Creek Bridge, but you have to wait until the end of the story to find out the truth, or else you could be lost in someone’s daydream.

It is divided into two sections. The Muddy River flows through the northern part of the park on its way to the Charles River. The southern part of the park includes three ponds, Ward’s Pond, Leverett’s Pond, and Willow Pond, and athletic fields. The park is heavily wooded because Olmsted preferred a sequence of open and closed landscapes. He wanted to reveal the natural features of the area to visitors.

When their habitat is conducive, their nesting and breeding habitat they can rebuild their populations. The impacts on the population were noticed in the 1950s, and with efforts in place there were approximately 1000 males accounted from by 1961, however, by 1971 that number declined to 400 (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services). As we looked at the habitat of this species we can see that the issue at hand is their inability to adjust to environmental stochasticity and their loss of evolutionary flexibility. The habitat of the area that they occupy simply outgrows them. As the trees age the lower branches die off, and the new growth is unable to support the nests.
