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.”

Some more birds

Those may be Downy Woodpecker holes in this hanging dead branch.
Cooper’s Hawk at the top of this mass of pigeons.
Common Raven flying with nesting material, twig, broken off a tree about a block from this blog’s command post.
Other member of the pair hung around in the tree for a while before dropping out of my sight.This looks like the sixth year of Common Raven nesting in Brooklyn. Or near Brooklyn. To my knowledge, nobody has ever found the nesting site.

    A majestic bird which deserves an unlisted address.
