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.”

Another day of American Kestrels atop the Neo-gothic Green-Wood gatehouse.
This time the female was eating.
While these two were boss of the spires…
A different male was in a nearby Northern Red Oak that looks like it’s on its last roots. All three could see each other.
The next day as I passed, there were no Ks on the gatehouse, but this one flew into the same Red Oak.
