Prospertown Lake, for sentimental reasons. My father and I used to canoe and fish there when I was a kid. My friends and I swam there. When I was only 7 or 8 I would crawl around the bog checking out frogs, turtles, snakes, carnivorous plants, etc. I walked that area in dreams when I was a kid...

Al's fire ant story kills any other that I've heard.

That's interesting, I never thought of that being a danger but it makes sense.

Terrible news. Rest in peace sir.

I find myself more concerned about ticks and stinging insects than coyotes. Am I crazy?

Beautiful creature!

WOW! Your photos are incredible! 'Fog on the Bog' is just amazing.

Boyd, I didn't treat the clothing with permethrin, although it's been recommended that I do and I think that I will invest in some. Gibby, you are lucky, I had the camera handy the whole time because I was salivating at the thought of seeing a C. horridus. It's actually an endeavor at this...

I think so, but not 100% on it.

Thanks 46er. We actually went today instead of going at the end of the month. We nixed the canoe rental and leisurely walked the pink trail. Very pretty back there, we saw the camp and firefighters memorial. Some of the stretches of towering white pine are really beautiful, a nice contrast...

I think that it's differentiated by the term 'Turpor'. I am also trying not to be either a grammar or a natural history Nazi, btw.

Hi Folks, We're planning an outing to Bass River toward the end of June. I was pondering the map and we are going to probably rent a canoe for an hour or so, and then walk a loop either north of Stage Road, or south. North is the yellow trail on the map with a short blue around Lake Absegami...

Hi Ben, Brendan Byrne SF has a 10.8 mile bike loop, indicated in orange here: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/maps/BTB_Trail_Map.pdf

I always thought that mating occurs with the bottoms of the turtles facing one another and the heads facing the opposite direction?

Other vocalizations for frogs that may be calling now in that area (for process of elimination): Carpenter frog-this call sounds slightly sped up, for some reason: Bull frog: Green frog: Southern leopard frog: Spring peeper:

The only one that I can think of that sounds similar is the gree tree frog (Hyla Cinerea), which is not historically established in NJ, but they have found isolated populations here in different spots, namely in Salem County. Article...
