Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

Raptor Wednesday

The cross atop the historic Chapel in Green-Wood has just been replaced after the old one, recently cleaned, was shattered by a lighting bolt last year. And of course the local American Kestrels are up there again.

Elsewhere in G-W, this female was hunting dragonflies and…

…at least one caterpillar.
