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

As a large adult female (presumably, because it seemed larger) Red-tailed Hawk perched above the Dell Water…

A bird about half a year old flew back and forth stalking the various bird feeders set up there.

Well, yes, the hawk did lumber-dive the short distance towards the American Goldfinch, who flicked away effortlessly.
