A View From Creekside

Hi all! I would like to welcome everyone to the official blog of the

Captina Creek Watershed.  I hope that by checking in on this site

regularly you will gain an appreciation for the creek and its natural 

resources.  Feedback on the posts is encouraged. 

This picture was taken in July of 2008 near Armstrong Mills.  I usually

post recent photos but this oldie is one of my faves.  I enjoy this

segment of the creek for its diverse tree composition and songbird

population.  The banks are lined with Black Walnut (Juglans nigra),

Yellow Buckeye (Aesculus octandra), Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis)  

and even Butternut (Juglans cinerea).   The trees on the south bank

shelter the nearly verticle rise in elevation off the creek floor.

More to come...
