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.”

On The Rocks

Don’t let this Ring-billed Gull fool you. It’s definitely waiting close by to see what this Oystercatcher finds on the rocks at Bush Terminal Park.
And it sure did find something. What is this?
Gull missed out on kleptoparasitic freeloading. First time I’ve seen an American Oystercatcher at this location.
