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.”

Last Monarchs?

Four of the five Monarchs I saw last Tuesday at Rockaway Beach, the terminus of Long Island, last stop before jumping off to New Jersey. (The last pictured was having trouble flying; kinda don’t think it was going to make it to Mexico.)

And one more, on Saturday, October 18th, along the Brooklyn shore of the Upper Bay.
