I actually found one on the roadside while checking out plants. Poor little guy was decapitated but feathers were in good condition. A recent kill. I hate to find dead birds.

wish I coulda brought him home I have a shed full of crickets right now. He'd have had a field day.

I scratch too coz they itch. But my skin is rather thin so it doesn't take long to bleed. But the witch hazel does help as well.

I love reading and hearing the history of all these local places. Its fascinating what was here before. Thanks Mark!

I also need an ID. A visitor noticed this plant growing in my bog. It flower looks like a bud, but I checked it in two day and it was spent. Never saw anything like this before, even in Peterson's. Its about 6-8 inches tall. Has anyone seen this before?

I agree with German on the 4 species.

I recently got a bad batch of them and I used Witch Hazel 2x daily, took the itch a way in about 5 days, but made the itching less severe while it was going on.

I was at Tuckahoe WMA last weekend and one flew in my truck and hung out on the dash all day.

Very cool!!!

Ditto, and a very nice shot of Gratiola aurea with the bumblebee. So glad it didn't become 1000 homes. We need more preservation like this. Bravo to the freeholders. I can't wait to hike it.

I really don't want to turn on the heater just yet. Its been staying 64-67 in here. But I fired it up to 68 yesterday just to make sure its working ok so I am ready when it does get cold in here. Its a new unit, but so is my water heater and I had a gas leak in only 3 months after it was...

Glad it came back. Was it wind caused?

Sorry pic wouldn't load..something wrong with one drive. Maybe I can send it from phone.

Very nice snakes, all of them. Here is one I stumbled upon, "Literally almost stepped on him last weekend, A Rough Green Snake. He is the second one I found this summer, the first sadly was deceased in the road.
