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.”

Eating

 

Buds.Muffin wrapper tidbits?Pineapple? It was hard as a brick whatever it was, but this didn’t stop several gulls from fighting over it. Actually, I’m not sure it was at all edible. I wonder if this was a small echo of our great ocean disaster: floating plastic picks up dimethyl sulfide and so smells like food to birds.
