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.”

Raptor Wednesday

We were just leaving Green-Wood when Traci said, “Hey guys, it’s a Bald Eagle!” And the bird was chasing an Osprey.
Ospreys are big birds. But eagles are enormous.
And kleptoparasitic.
Camera is still horizontal here, but the birds are in the air so can do what they want.
Rough day for the fish, let me tell you.

    Eagles chase any bird with a fish especially when they are hungry!
    Great shots!
