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.”

Mammal Monday

It was a two Groundhog Day. This one was stuffing its mouth with grasses and leaves, presumably to line the winter den.
Don’t let this one fool you. It was giving me the side-eye, alright.

    A terror for those of us who grow our own food.

    Is this Green Wood Greg or his cousin BK Bob? All things animate or otherwise must have a name. Right?

      Yes, in Green-Wood Cemetery. There are a fair number of Groundhogs in there. Always good to keep your eye on the ground for the holes, as they lead into the underworld.
