Nice find on the purple bladderwort!

The flower in the last pic is rose pogonia.

"I think it all depends on how they are raised. Nowadays it's stick a tv or computer in front of them and let them play in their virtual world. :(" Not on my watch.

It's a young green frog. One of the diagnostic criteria which helps to differentiate between green and bull frogs is the presence of the dorsolateral ridges on the back. In the bull frog, the ridges contour around the tympanum, in the green frog, they run down the back directly behind the eye...

Keith E, you mentioned sundews above. There are lots of sundews in the wetlands, as well as pitcher plants and bladderworts. The spatulate leaved sundew (Drosera intermedia) grows in mucky areas, sometimes nearly in standing water. Look closely in sphagnum moss for the round-leaved sundew (D...

Happy Independence Day!

I don't have the ability to differentiate between them and yellow jackets in the field, but now that I think about it I haven't seen as many yellow jacket-type wasps as usual (if you don't mind the generalization).

I noticed that no one used the name of the animal on that sign so far in this thread and I think that isn't an accident, so good call for anyone who didn't put it in here on purpose. This confirms my suspicions that the populations of these guys are starting to come back. I thought that they...

I don't think that they will bother you. Beside other random food sources, there are tons of blueberries and huckleberries down here, I believe that they will be well fed and content. I hike occasionally in what would be considered pretty dense bear country. I've only seen a single bear here in...

What an awesome creature. I sometimes see photos online of black and yellow phase timbers huddling together at hibernacula or while basking. Incredible. Regarding determining sex, it can be done for some snakes by the tail taper. Not sure about the timber, but on some snakes, the tail tapers...

BTW, my comment was more directed toward 46'er's post that there were holes where plants were taken. Apologies if I sounded grouchy.

I wish that some people would stay the hell home.

My first question is always this: what are its natural predators?

Thank you Bob and Al!

I saw a few pink ones last weekend in the highlands as well.

Hi Folks, I was over at Pakim Pond the other day with my younger son, and we saw a few cool wildflowers. These were unknown, could anyone please help ID them? This was my younger son's first father-son hike in the Pine Barrens (he's 3 years old). He loved it and ran so far ahead of...

Beer + baked beans + full bathtub = bubble bath

It's a beautiful recording Bill, thanks for sharing.

PBTF's, peepers, carpenters, fowler's, leopards? That is a great recording!! In what month was it recorded?

That's really cool Jersey Jeff, I love the sound of a frog chorus, and it's great that your son loves to get out and experience it. Some of my fondest memories growing up were doing stuff like this. :)
