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.”

Northern Seaside Goldenrod

Solidago sempervirens is still blooming into late October. What a trooper!

It’s where we find our last bees of the year. These two Eastern Common Bumblees were spotted 10/14.

Look at that pollen bundle!

October 17: a small Lasioglossom.

No pictures, but on Oct 18, more Common Eastern Bumbles on goldenrod in the tree pits in my neighborhood.
