Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

An Invitation

Readers, you are invited to a bird and nature walk in Prospect Park this Sunday morning. The weather forecast looks promising. The neotropical migrants are starting to arrive. Things are blooming. These pictures are from Tuesday.We will meet at the Grand Army Plaza entrance at 8 a.m., in front of the Stranahan statue. Binoculars would be helpful. Children are welcome. The tour will last a couple of hours, at least, but of course you can leave whenever you want to, since Brooklyn is near. RSVP in the comments section.

I may try to do this again next month.

    Invitation walk – April 21

    Hi Matthew –

    I am glad that I took the opportunity to attend your walk. It is always a pleasure to be in the company those who cherish the natural world! What a nice group!

    After we parted I walked right into the Wood ducks and a Black – crowned night heron!

    Thanks again.
