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.”

Crow & Gull

Unique white feathers as eyebrow on this corvid. Note sure if this is a Fish or an American Crow. Usually Fish predominate down here at the city’s edge, but I did hear an American just before spotting this one.

Ring-billed Gull, a fellow scavenge, enters the scene. (Actually, off-stage there are several.)
