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.”

Monarch Monday

This male was foraging last Tuesday. He was the only Monarch sighting during the week.

    They’re long gone here on the Cape.

    My last hummingbird sighting was 9/24.

    Didn’t note the date, but Monarchs were done by then.

    A sparse year for Monarchs, but not none!

      Still a few stragglers here on the western end of Long Island. Saw one today, two or three on Sunday, but couldn’t get any good photos.
