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

One of a couple-three Bald Eagles seen from Norrie Point Environmental Center. This was actually the closest of them.
Juvenile Coopers, through the window and the screened porch.
Hoo boy, these are some unremarkable photos! These are all raptors seen in Dutchess County last week. On the way up, we saw one Peregrine and about two dozen Buteos circling or perched over the highway, Couldn’t be exact on all of them, but the great majority were Red-tails. On the way down, with the sun in our eyes, it was half that number.
