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.”

Win Some…

Mulberries are ripening. This one went right into the gullet of…
…a fledgling.
Simultaneously, the very same apple tree had a fledgling Northern Mockingbird in it.
Several days earlier, I’d come across a crow with a different fledgling Robin.
Around here, I’ve seen American and Fish Crows look into the traffic light support tubes that frequently harbor House Sparrow nests. The other day, I saw one move from one of these to a nearby window air-conditioner,, looking intently under that. House Sparrows also frequently nest under these.
Two Mockingbirds were taking exception to the situation.
