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.”

Egret Action

Yesterday, the great Blue Heron in Green-Wood’s Sylvan Water was showing off some impressive fishing chops.

Today, it’s the Great Egret.

Ah, but this was just the sushi appetizer.

A few minutes later, something more substantial.

Meanwhile, a close encounter: one of the huge Common Snapping Turtles approached the Great Blue. First time I can recall seeing a Great Blue walk backwards.
