    Tuesday with Alfie

    Hey Bob. Scorching level burns were random. Huckleberry glowed orange throughout the burn area; it's quite scenic.

    another barren night

    No idea, Bob. Maybe Alfie would know. We were beaming our way through brush and briar. Alfie had been home in his pajamas when his phone rang. The guy on the other end was ecstatic, insisting he dress and drive his way to the bog. I've been slogging through spring swamps for years, but last...

    Lots of heavy petting in the bogs last night.

    bay days

    I'd have bet a million bucks it was Alfie (he's upset the arthropods won't evolve and is trying to force the issue), but he is far from little.

    bay days

    It's horseshoe-crab-breeding season along the Delaware Bay. I've been going a little cell-phone-video wacky there at Sea Breeze; below's one of the takes. Anybody who is familiar with walking the beaches when the crabs breed knows that the critters tend to flip and render themselves helpless...

    Wonka Wonka

    Different location from the original recording, Mark. Al and I heard a nice amount (a few dozen?) of PBTFs in Belleplain SF (pics above) last week. Gloria and I monitored Friendship two weeks ago tonight, but it was dropping to the high 40s that night. Only peepers, and a decent amount of...

    Whippoorbill's gift to us

    I don't think you and I have been to Friendship together on a frog night since the racket days. I'm there a few times a season, usually solo, and the score isn't even comparable, for whatever the reason. Weird, I just had an exchange with a Lines of the Pines attendee and the same exact bog...

    Whippoorbill's gift to us

    Thank you, guys. I haven't visited the Friendship area nearly enough to properly document populations, or calls pertaining to conditions. The first time I visited one of the larger bogs at Friendship, melting Manumuskin was with me, the carpenter racket was unbearable. Something tells me...

    Whippoorbill's gift to us

    You're asking about the framework radio link? Not all nature recordings. Basically it airs phonography sound collages. Some of it is a bit bizarre but, remember, I'm open-minded. :)

    Whippoorbill's gift to us

    A program called framework radio ( http://www.frameworkradio.net/ ) recharged my interest in field recording ... reopened my ears to the sounds around me ... which led me back to this thread, where a few field recordings are archived. I just re-listened to these Wharton State Forest (and a...

    another barren night

    Back in June, 2011, it was reported that green treefrogs had successfully manned a boat and settled in Southern New Jersey. The wind of those sails blew this way, but we didn't exactly hop into action to have a look to see for ourselves. Last Thursday evening, Alfalfa and Mrs. Alfalfa finally...
