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.”

Night Crow

A Black-crowned Night Heron at Brooklyn Bridge Park. The binomial Nycticorax nycticorax basically means night raven night raven. Found throughout much of the world, eating everything. They’ll even dumpster/landfill dive, so maybe that reference to corax/corvids isn’t all that off.
