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.”

Sylvan Raptor

Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday I spotted raptors at the gory work of eating. First up is a mature Red-tailed Hawk in Green-Wood at the Sylvan Water.
The unfortunate meal is a Grey Squirrel.
I used a very large tree as a blind to get close as the weather went from cloudy to breaking sunny to cloudy and rainy.
