Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”
Recently, Green-Wood has been visited by a Great Cormorant/Phalacrocorax carbo.
A Western Kingbird/Tyrannus verticalis.
And a Lark Sparrow/Chondestes grammacus. First time I’ve seen any of these here in the cemetery. The Lark S was in the new meadow, which the legions trampled though like Visigoths.
And more sad news: the Great Cormorant…
Sad about the cormorant. Any idea what killed it?
None at all, although I thought there might be something wrong with the bird from the beginning, simply because it was there. First Great, as opposed to Double-crested, seen at this location.
What happened to the Cormorant? That is so sad.
Unknown…
