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.”

Yew Said It

This large yew in Green-Wood was overflowing with seeds, above and below.There was no evidence of anybody eating them, however.On the other side of the cemetery, meanwhile, a Red-breasted Nuthatch has been eating from a cluster of two other yews the last three times I passed by.

Or so I assume it’s the same bird. Why leave as long as there’s food?

One response to “Yew Said It”

  1. Wonderful photos which show the perfect harmony of nature when
    we leave it alone. Happy New Year!
