No water at Niagara Falls

From June to November 1969 the American Falls were dewatered. This action cut back the normal flow of 60,000 gallons a second to almost nothing. Most of the diverted water was either sent over the Horseshoe Falls or diverted to the Robert Moses generating plant's upriver intakes. The action enabled Canadian and US power companies and the US Army Corps of Engineers to do on-the-spot inspections and aerial photographs of the river bed's rock formation. This was all part of a plan to reduce erosion to the Falls.

For some reason (maybe the size of the picture?) didn't freaked me out as much.

 

I'm actually sad that they're so few left. Birds are cool, I just have an irrational fear of them.

To assuage Marcos' fears there were only 92 left in 2008, most likely fewer now.

 

Can't see one of those without thinking of Douglas Adams.
