Backyard Nature: Photos of our wild neighbors

Photographer and Forest Hills neighbor David Cohen has a knack for finding wildlife. And sometimes they have a knack for finding him. Cohen recently shared photos from jaunts to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and Huntley Meadows Park.

The following photos highlight the beauty we can find right outside our doors. Cohen writes:

In Forest Hills, every day cycles through endless variations of light and color. Here are:
