Backyard Nature: The woodpecker version of the Holy Grail

June 17, 2016 by FHC

by David Cohen Mythic quests – for the Golden Fleece, the Lost Ark, the Holy Grail– pervade world culture. Here’s my neighborly, woodpecker version! A neighbor whose yard abuts Rock Creek Park along Broad Branch Road saw me toting my camera, monopod and telephoto lens. “I know what you’re looking for,” she said. I had […]

Backyard Nature: What a zoo!

May 27, 2016 by FHC

by David Cohen In the midst of our chill gray rainy days, when the sky cleared once or twice to mere cloudiness, I went to the zoo. Usually I’m escorting children. This time I took an adult look. Here’s a little of what I found: David has a knack for capturing our wild neighbors with […]

April 8, 2016 by FHC

Backyard Nature: Colorful neighbors

March 18, 2016 by FHC

More stunning photos of the local wildlife from David Cohen: “I walked, carefully, along Broad Branch Road and the tributary to Rock Creek that runs alongside it.

Backyard nature: These tigers don’t roar

September 11, 2015 by FHC

From David Cohen, more wonderful photos of the natural world just outside our doorsteps: I passed colorful fluttering on my daily walks with our dog that seemed to concentrate on a particular corner and bush.

Backyard nature: When a new stream opened, these neighbors moved in

August 21, 2015 by FHC

More wonderful wildlife photos from David Cohen. He writes: A goal of the stream daylighting at the intersection of Fessenden Street and Broad Branch Terrace, NW, formally opened last October, was to encourage flora and fauna. I think these photos… show the project is meeting the goal. The bird, according to the Cornell Laboratory of […]

Backyard nature: A rarely-seen but frequent visitor mugs for the camera

April 16, 2015 by FHC
