    New Frog Popping Up In New Places in Jersey

    Its a house I just moved to so I haven't spent enough time listening at night or during spring but I'm gonna listen good this spring. I have a series of manmade ornamental type fish ponds that I guess could support them. I have huge amounts of fowlers, spadefoots, grey trees and green frogs...

    New Frog Popping Up In New Places in Jersey

    Also I totally forget I have wood frogs in my yard in shamong/Medford. I really have no idea where they came from or what they like in my yard. The closest wetland is about around the west jersey cranberry bogs which I don't think would support them. Weird place this south jersey is.

    New Frog Popping Up In New Places in Jersey

    . I found it in the adult form in spot off buck road. As a kid I found them in some woodlands in Barrington but too polluted now. There is also quite a few records off 530 in whiting in core barrens. Herp associates caught them in pitfall traps. Red sals are common in barrens in cedar...

    New Frog Popping Up In New Places in Jersey

    I've only seen a few pickerels in southern nj. The spot I would find them out is a series of vernal pools at the new virtual hospital (a really herp loaded spot,ashame). Pickerels are probably all over Salem county and Gloucester but I've never searched or heard them there. Pretty sure the...

    New Frog Popping Up In New Places in Jersey

    Al, I would guess all the ones by you are this new type. Interesting thing would be to go to the cool secret pbtf spot I gave you and whip a few years back (I don't want to publicly mention the locale or hints). Now those frogs should be the atlantic/new one, however i recall seeing some there...

    New Frog Popping Up In New Places in Jersey

    The one in the barrens has a more narrow snout and longer. It's also more slender and much more attractive. The new species is more wide and duller looking. If you see the two together they look different. For years most have always referred to has the barrens ones as a pretty leopard frog.

    New, third local species of Leopard Frog

    Having caught a considerable amount of "coastals" they look like red milk snakes to me. Many folks believe that they are an isolated population of red milk snakes.

    New, third local species of Leopard Frog

    This is from a biologist I know listed on this paper. As I visually noticed over the years the head width is more narrow for the ones in the barrens. As usual the flora and fauna in the barrens continues to be unique and continues to offers us new findings...

    New, third local species of Leopard Frog

    The leopard frogs in the core barrens are some of the nicest looking you'll see. I understand they says its dna and acoustics but I'm curious if there are physical differences as well. When i'm in the barrens I tend to see two distinct looking leopard frogs. Mostly notable is the bluntness or...

    Slow to fight southern pine beetles

    Possibly related, but what are the Lee bros doing off speedwell on the road up to Harris station/pinecrest. It looks really good, opening up forest. I still think if dead trees are left and allowed to rot out it provides great habitat. Pines needs to be thinned in a major way, if pine beetle...

    Recommend a Trail Camera

    I've switched fully over to plotwatcher cameras but the standard Moultrie ones work pretty good from my experience. But everything I've bought had been at least 100 bucks, some of the real cheap ones are pretty terrible.

    Questionable behavoir by a birder

    Yeah Al, this photo he had was pure stupidity. Apparently he is a nice guys just a dumb ass attention type. I actually emailed him via flickr expressing my issues, he seem niave and somewhat of a clown. Hopefully he learned his lesson. I'll try to post the picture if I remember, I screenshot...

    Questionable behavoir by a birder

    Yeah same guy as with the rattlesnake. He seems to catch crap from every group but not really care. The hobby seems to be about him, he is a showman, typical dipshit from my generation who tries to be an internet superstar. Usually I won't report someone just for picking up a snake, I mean...

    Questionable behavoir by a birder

    I think I may know the person you are describing. There was also another guy, maybe same person who had a rattlesnake pinned and holding its tail in front of its face screaming at it like it was a microphone. I reported that person to fish and game.

    Bobwhite reintroduction

    http://mobile.philly.com/news/local/?wss=/philly/news/local&id=278918901& I've been fortunate to see two quail and heard a handful over the years. Down in pitssgrove while golfing I've heard a few, such a nice sound. Also saw two off glade road years ago. Seems like a good program, kudos to...

    Dead Rattlesnake

    For a snake it doesn't take much to kill it. Me and Gibby found a similar dor, I actually stopped to get it across but it was on its way out. This time of year they are mating so unfortunately males get hit. A pretty classic pinebrake right there.

    August Wildlife Watching Questions

    PBTF are abundant, tiger salamanders are endangered and their locations are kept secret due to their sensitivity. Regarding snakes most people on here wont give out locations to find them, again given their rare or sensitive nature. Best bet is to put in some sweat equity and explore by trial...
