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.”

It’s Been Awhile

enemyDie, hellfiend, die!

Oh, uh, sorry… my usual near-Jainist approach to insects falters when it comes to the ancient enemy. This actually hasn’t been a bad for the little bloodsuckers. So far. I was expecting an onslaught getting to Dead Horse Bay last week, as in the past, but that seems to be a spring/early summer issue. This not-so-much-of-a-lady got me in the middle of the day, as is the Asian Tiger wont, in Green-Wood.

    You’ve got off lightly then, it’s been horrendous here in our corner of NJ – they’ve basically put an end to us spending any time relaxing outside in the summer.

      Jersey Skeeters are infamous (and seem to have given their [nick]name to a baseball team).
