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.”

Red-tailed Hawk in tuliptree.
Cooper’s Hawk coming in.


The Cooper’s kept a sharp eye on the larger hawk. The latter flew away and was followed by the Coop to another tuliptree some 75 yards away.
Then they returned back to the original tuliptree, so as I was making my way thataway they passed me by overhead.
After a few moments of this stand-off, the Cooper’s flew off.
Leaving the Red-tailed alone.
