    Pine Barrens Fishing Question

    Thanks Fellas! Someone PM'ed me a few good points for PB fishing, which brought me to one more question if you don't mind-we have fished streams up here and had a blast, often looking for pools, bends and structure. Any pointers for fishing Pine Barrens streams? We find the streams more fun than...

    Pine Barrens Fishing Question

    Earlier this summer, both of my boys (ages 8 and 11) took a more serious interest in fishing, and we got out a bit in our area here in Central NJ. They have expressed interest in fishing in the Pine Barrens, and I'd love to take them. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some decent places...

    Hello...is there anybody in there

    Great shot of the red-bellied cooter in that first pic Toothy Critter! Also, regarding mullein, the dried stalk makes a good hand drill for friction fire.

    Green Treefrog Expanding Range

    Stupid Question. Re: Bird at Feeder

    Agree with 46er, female brown-headed cowbird. They do move in flocks in winter, often with red-winged blackbirds and starlings mixed in (sometimes grackles too), then the flocks break up in spring to nest and you'll see the individuals. BTW, they are nest parasites.

    Franklin Parker Preserve Red Trail Q

    Thank you! I've hiked the yellow and white trails a few times (first time with Manumuskin and Whippoorbill). Only done small parts of other trails while naturalizing. Really looking forward to hiking this section.

    Franklin Parker Preserve Red Trail Q

    Thank you much for your help! I think we'll put it off until it's dryer out. Any issues with that red trail in more 'normal' precipitation conditions?

    Franklin Parker Preserve Red Trail Q

    I wanted to check in here for some opinions on the red trail on the FPP. I was planning on going out there on Sunday, but with the recent rains I was wondering if any parts of the trail would be impassable or just outright too muddy to walk comfortably with family? Also, how's the tick situation...

    Spotted lanternfly was just found in Mercer County too. A colleague of mine found one in his backyard in Bucks County, PA. Supposedly one of their favorite host plants is Ailanthus (Tree of Heaven), also an invasive.

    Tuesday with Alfie

    I think you got it by feel, I don't remember how much of your body you got wet but the water was cold and you sure as hell brought that turtle back out. It was a painted, here's the pic of it.

    Tuesday with Alfie

    My turn for an Al story: our first time out we were at the Parker Preserve, having a relaxing hike and shooting the breeze (Myself, Al and Bill). Keep in mind this was, if my memory serves me correctly, at the end of March although it might have been very early April. Nonetheless, it wasn't what...
