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.”

Back To The Birds

This Eastern Phoebe had just eaten a cellophane bee.

This male Red-bellied Woodpecker would not stop chortling about the nesting hole he’d made.

Ah, well, when you’re a Carolina Wren, you just chortle, don’t you?

A trio of Tree Swallows and a Barn Swallow. Temperatures were below freezing yesterday.

And the swallows seemed very chill.

    I love seeing spring birds again. That one woodpecker is actually a red-bellied woodpecker.
