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.”

Eggs & Memories

Slug eggs! I think. Quite small.
I didn’t notice them at first, as I was photographing this beetle under a log.
Some beetles are shy. Only later did I see the spheres in the photograph.

I’ve been delving into the archives to see what else has turned up in early Aprils past:

2018: Brooklyn Kestrels!
2017: Some turtles in oldest Virginia.
2016: Accipiter bath.
2015: Lores of an egret.
2012: Leaves of three.

This is a must-read on thinking during a pandemic.

    Matthew, another fascinating post. The link to “New Pathogen, Old Politics” is particularly informative.
    Thank you.
