Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY has hundreds of doors to the mausoleums. Next to the Callery pear tree is a gate to the afterlife. The last image shows the Manhattan skyline at the horizon.

Green-Wood Birds in April

Rather than walk with the Linnaean Society’s field trip we drove. I injured my Achilles tendon and walking is painful. We cam across the group at Crescent Water and they excitedly beckoned us over. There was a Wilson’s Snipe there. It wasn’t as birdy a day as it could have been.
