It's the bear thing that I can't get past. We all know that crazy and unpredictable things can happen in the woods, but if she approached a bear cub with her dog in tow I believe that 1) her and the domestic dog would have gotten it first , as they would have appeared more of a threat than the...

I'm no veteran of the Great White North, but I can't help but to have some suspicions about a few elements of this story. Glad she and the dog are okay.

PBA, just to take a shot at the iron question, iron is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust (consider Earth's iron core). Although abundant, iron is usually locked up in minerals (compounds) or in ores (mixtures of compounds that form rocks). When groundwater flows through the...

As pictured below, there are 6 beds total, two empty beds on the left, where 3 cherry tomatoes (sungold, snow white, black cherry) will go, as well as 9 scotch bonnet peppers (Jamaican heirlooms). I had a row garden in this spot last year where I grew many of the same crops, plus spinach...

That looks and sounds amazing, right down to the cast iron skillet! I am envious (and now a bit hungry)!

I'm leaning toward Eastern kingbird in pic #3

There is a township council meeting tonight, Monday, May 23rd at 6:00 pm, and another meeting of the planning board on June 6th.

More like Gloomius and doomius. Glad you like the pic!

Either that or...

Hey Dragon, wouldn't wood frogs be long done with their breeding season? My experience has been that their breeding activity is outright kaput by the second week of April at the very latest (most of the time by the end of March, at least up here). Agree on the possibility of a leopard frog...

Can anything be done about it, or are we too far along?

Yes I did!

I acknowledge that this is anecdotal, but I saw skunk cabbage that had been partially eaten at a pine barrens site in Burlington County. My understanding is that only bears will do that, however I have read mixed things about whether deer will eat them (and read material that contradicted this)...

Blech.

Could not agree more.

You're right Teegate, I did hear a carpenter frog at the 21 second mark after replaying it.

"Environmentalist: The environment is to be saved, preserved, set aside, protected from human abuse. Conservationist: The environment is something we use, so we have to conserve it and take care of it, so that others can use it in the future." I'm having some trouble with this one, and with...

Hi Ascariafraser, congratulations on the move! What I believe that you are hearing are Northern cricket frogs (Acris crepitans). Carpenter frogs have a deeper and more echoing "pa-tuck!" to them, and chorus frogs have a more sustained, rising call with a distinct clicking similar to running your...

Unbelievable. I wonder-will there ever be a water crisis in the Pine Barrens?

It's a great idea. Regarding the snakes, I have heard that too as well as endangered plants/orchids. Still I think that it would be a great idea to purchase this or another tract of land and make an off-roading park in the area that you mentioned. I'm actually surprised that the development of...
