Just in case any of you all fish out that way, I copied and pasted an e-mail that I received earlier from the DEP via their release feed. IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 19, 2018 Contact: Lawrence Hajna (609) 984-1795 Caryn Shinske (609) 984-1795 NEW JERSEY UPDATES FISH CONSUMPTION ADVISORIES FOR...

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks for the info on the kayaks/canoes folks! I think we're going to go with 2 Old Town Twin Herons to start.

Thank you all very much for the recommendations! 46er, that's a gorgeous canoe. 37 lb sounds like a dream. I won't ask the price tag! Al, I'd like to give Menantico Ponds a shot one day. Let me know if you'd like to join. Tanton, that is a really generous offer and I appreciate it very...

Thank you both! Regarding the canoe, I'm looking at the Old Town Discovery or Penobscot series. Any advice regarding these or others?

I'm finally biting the bullet and purchasing a canoe and a kayak for family. In the past we've canoed Prospertown Lake and Atsion Lake, both were beautiful, but I wanted to ask the opinions of others-what are the most scenic and outright best lakes in the Pine Barrens to drop a canoe and spend...

Those tentacles look just like seaweed! :D

Bob that looks kind of symmetrical to be a man-of-war. I was originally thinking that it was a lion's mane jellyfish because of the size and symmetry but lion's manes have very long tentacles. I did some research and it looks like your jellyfish is one called a mushroom cap.

That's what I thought as well Bob. My understanding from talking with field herpers and herpetologists over the years was that the populations of them were mostly in the NW and SW of NJ outside of the core barrens, but the map below does reflect some occurrences in the Pine Barrens.

Right? :D

Good news! Our students wrote in and they proposed a bill designating the Pine Barrens Tree Frog as the state amphibian. I wonder what happened to it? http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2018/Bills/S2500/2287_I1.HTM

Good article, thanks for sharing and I agree with you on it being a hard choice and I also side with the birds. It should also be noted that foxes, as well as raccoons and skunks, often dig turtle nests as well. I'm sure that they also put a dent in the diamondback terrapin population at the...

This forum is the last bastion of sanity that I have from an oversensitive, divisive, at-each-other's-throats world of internet echo chambers that have permeated nearly every forum that I've been on. I won't even step mention the crapshow that Facebook and news story comments sections are. I...

What's a little extra protein?

At least Smilax is good for trail nibbles on a hot Memorial Day Weekend :)

Not sure if this is too off-topic for a thread about Ike but since D-Day came up: when I was a kid there was a TV series called 'Victory at Sea', an excellent WWII documentary. Not sure if anyone has seen it but it's a great series and I recently found it on Amazon for a pretty low price. We...

Beautiful!!

She's beautiful! Great picture too!

That top picture is awesome.

Hey ECampbell, those are Northern gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor) vocalizations. Red-bellied woodpeckers are diurnal and wouldn't be vocalizing at night because of increased risk of predation at the nest. Check out the video 4 rows down on the right from this page for comparison...
