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.”

Raptor Week Wrap-up

Tuesday morning Bald Eagle flyover. This might be the same bird I saw the previous Monday and Tuesday.

A heavily marked (for our part of the country) Red-tailed Hawk. I think this one is female.

A young Cooper’s with full crop.

As of Tuesday, I haven’t seen this male connecting with a female, although he is perched here about a block from the cornice they used last year for a nest.
