Kaaterskill Falls is a two-stage waterfall on Spruce Creek in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York. The two cascades total 260 feet (79 m) in height, making Kaaterskill Falls one of the highest waterfalls in New York, and one of the Eastern United States' tallest waterfalls.
The waterfalls are one of America's oldest tourist attractions, being depicted or described by many books, essays, poems and paintings of the early 19th century. 
Loved by locals and tourists alike, Kaaterskill falls is estimated to host well over 200,000 visitors each year. This landmark has been the epicenter of Catskills tourism since the early 1800s, thus Kaaterskill Falls is the most popular and highly visited destination in the Catskill Park Forest Preserve.

Northern Mockingbird is Texas state bird and bluebonnet it's state flower. 
Texas designated the mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) as official state bird in 1927.
Northern Mockingbirds have extraordinary vocal abilities; they can sing up to 200 songs, including the songs of other birds, insect and amphibian sounds, even an occasional mechanical noise. The northern mockingbird is also the state bird of Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi. 
Texas designated the bluebonnet as the official state flower in 1901. Bluebonnet flowers were named for the blue color and sunbonnet-shaped petals (though not all bluebonnets are blue). - in: https://statesymbolsusa.org
