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

Osprey all over the Chesapeake Bay region.
This one pipped up a storm when we got too close…but they show remarkably adaptability to human presence. This nest platform is in the water of a creek with active docks on both sides.
Meanwhile…
Yes, this Bush Terminal platform is in use for the first time.

Thomas, Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett all, of course, lied under oath when they said they’d uphold precedent. This has been a long Republican project, completely out in the open, and every Republican voter is responsible for it. With Roe looking like it’s done and the minority party about to declare women second-class citizens, you know these fundamentalists and fascists also have gay marriage, Griswold (birthcontrol), and Loving (interracial marriage), in their crosshairs. Birthright citizenship and Brown v. Board of Education, too.

    Great Ospreys. When do we start “becoming” the banned books a la Fareinheit 451?
