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.”

Sky Tumbling


Oh, to slip the surly bonds of earth!
These crows were facing the wind and dancing in place.

    Unassisted humans getting off the ground is measured in inches and parts of a second. For birds it’s from hundreds of feet to over a mile and in hours, days or, for some, years. I imagine flight isn’t always a joy for a bird, but it’s always amazing for a human to watch.
