Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”
Calling loudly. Young’uns like this are often mistakenly presumed to be in need of rescue, but as long as there aren’t any cats around, these fluff balls are likely fine; their parents will take care of them.
I found this nest by looking up.
Right over the sidewalk, these two were quite quiet.
But this one was loud. Where are those worms and grubs, damnit!
Dear Matthew, I read your postings every day and love the way you are introducing us to these beautiful and interesting fe fellow creatures. Sometimes I forward your blog to friends and they really appreciate it.
I think what I love most, is that you truly appreciate so many different aspects of nature. You’re open to it all.
Keep up your good work!
