I&#8217;m not sure what I&#8217;ll find around here in Brooklyn. There are certainly moths around, at least outside the winter months, and I saw a few moths in Prospect Park yesterday morning. However I don&#8217;t feel quite as confident wandering around in the dark with a couple of thousand dollars worth of camera equipment as I did back in the O.C. Honestly, there I was more likely to be hassled by cops than criminals. I still find it strange that I had more run-ons with the police in 18 months in Irvine (4) than in 18 years in New York (0). I suspect New York cops have real criminals to catch while Irvine police have to content themselves with people taking pictures of garage doors at night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I missed Moth Monday last week because I was busy packing for my move back to Brooklyn, as well as trying to squeeze in a few more state birds in California.
