Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Nice Moby-Dick reference! A park pond I walk around to get my steps most days has a couple of large white koi puttering around in it. I think the city put them there to help keep down the algae growth, though the pond has been known to be a dumping ground for aquarium fish.
