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

Extra gory edition.
Nose-to-tail dinning here, with a couple little bits leftover.
You can see the bulging crop in these last two photos.

    Karl and I went to Croton Gorge on Saturday. There was a deer carcass that washed up on the edge of the dam. A vulture swooped down and was having a good picnic! Nature’s clean up crew.

      Good gravy! I bet a few more will visit before it’s all done. Once, passing in a bus, I saw a few vulture scavenging a deer on an I-95 median. Felt like a vision of the Serengeti.
