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.”

Goslings

The fencing here surrounds one side of an empty warehouse building. Canada Geese are on both sides of the fencing. Sharp eyes will see at least three of the feral cats in the mix at well.

I counted sixteen goslings in the area on Saturday, not including the ones in the water at nearby Bush Terminal Park.

Some practically underfoot.

Behind fencing a block away: five more goslings.
