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

Welcome to the Class of 2022. Green-Wood’s two Red-tailed Hawk nests are showing their offspring. This is the sole bird of the Sylvan Water nest. That russety chest coloring is a mark of a young Red-tail.
A bit younger, this nestling perches at the top of the other G-W nest along with a parent. A second nestling was further down the tree.
The Welcome Wagon is reporting for duty.
