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

A meal for a male American Kestrel, although this time of year he may also be delivering to his mate.

Spotted at the entrance of Bush Terminal Park, where I’ve never seen a Merlin. One of regulars, a passing-through migrant, a bird thinking about nesting locally?

These two are getting it on, and taking nesting material from Green-Wood outside the cemetery.

    Birds do it. Bees do it. Even the trees do it………..
