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

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

  1. Love the pic on the chessboard. Great shot of a beautiful bird. The Carolina Wren is one of my favorites!

  2. One of my faves too, we have a few locals that are dropping by a lot these days. Their call is so loud for their size it’s unreal!
