Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Cooooot!

    Pity the American Coot
    A committee designed it’s foot
    It swims like a chicken
    and walks like a duck
    Could anyone have more miserable luck

    I love those coots. Their feet always crack me up.

    I have loved those feet ever since I first saw them so many years ago. The toes always make me think of ripe pea pods.
