After a short dance session both Oldalbatross and snake were fine.

 Top Of Squibb Creek Falls lower falls **1422 viewsLou and I took the hike up Squibb Creek after a night of heavy rain. If your thing is creek crossing this is for you.

The round trip is about five miles and with the water level high and a trail not much different than the creek, a grand time was had by all.

We found getting to the bottom of the falls, with the high water, was a little risky hence the top photos.

I recommend this trip just for the fantastic cascades below the Falls.

I believe this to be as identified but, if you know it to be another bird please, let me know.
