Connestee Falls is an 85-foot waterfall near Brevard. It’s easily viewed from the top 50-yard boardwalk to the overlook with the crest of the waterfall just to the left. There are actually two waterfalls here, each on a separate creek. At the overlook, stand at the top of Connestee Falls on Carson Creek. Across the gorge, Batson Creek Falls cascades down to meet Connestee.

The Victoria crowned pigeon is a large, bluish-grey pigeon with elegant blue lace-like crests, a maroon breast, and red irises. It is part of a genus of four unique, very large, ground-dwelling pigeons native to the New Guinea region, and it is the largest extant species of pigeon. Here is a beautiful one at Sylvan Heights Bird Park.

A small village nestles at the foothill of a rocky mountain in Bera, Rajasthan while a shrine is built on the top of the crest.
How can one not be mesmerized by the red color of this Northern Cardinal with a flattened crest!
