    You are correct and a very pretty one at that.Commonly but mistakenly referred to locally as a Water Moccasin.

    Dumping in Bass River

    A snake wouldn't even hide in that crap. I advocate the return of Public Flogging and the Stocks for crap like this.

    Mauricetown/Heislerville Birding

    Every animal has just enough brains to tan it's own hide....except for some people of course:-) Did you know your skin is basically made out of glue? Hides, hooves and eye balls can be boiled down into glue.I"ve done it.with animal hides that is. Okay back on subject.Some folks get aggravated...

    Welp probably comes from the same language that Yuntoo and Jeetyet comes from.I understand it quite well.

    My Dad used to hang out at that Marina when i was a kid .He was firneds with the owner,back in the 70's.I spent many an hour crabbing and snake hunting up and down those dykes. I thought you were referring to Muskrat Run (the road over Mauricetown Bridge.It's called that because of all the rat...

    Pine Barren Flora

    Bob I know what you mean about everything being unstable in a flooded swamp.I usually just take to the water when that happens.I would rather walk down a chest deep ditch then try to pull a balancing act and go in head first.If the bottom isn't muck then the deeper water usually has a more...

    Mauricetown/Heislerville Birding

    I ride Mauricetown Birdge almost every day.I don't recall any signs along side the road telling you you can't park there? I will check next time I head to Wawa..I know there is a peregrine Falcon visible often in the dead cedars at the east (wawa) end of the marsh.Of course I have named him...

    A Look Inside Lenape Farms WMA

    Millville is not a township.It is a City and has been since 1866. Most of Bevan is in Commercial Twp with parts in Downe and Lawrence twp"s and some is also in Millville but the bulk is in Commercial.

    Snakes this morning

    I have had Pine Snakes vocalize.I have caught several that I would have walked by without seeing except for their bluff and bluster "Hissy Fit". I had one pine snake attract attention to himself from 50 ft away.He seen me at that distance which is very good eye sight for a snake.I would have...

    Unusual Memorial to a Young Man in the Pines

    I wonder if He made the mistake of casually letting the body of the snake lay across his arm which is a bad move.They will immediately grip your arm like any snake and use the gained leverage to yank and twist their head out of your grip just enough to twist around an hook a fang in you.If you...

    Unusual Memorial to a Young Man in the Pines

    The Cottonmouth I caught did the same thing.He actually flipped out from under the hook.I"ve never had a snake do that before.They are wickedly strong snakes.Now I know why the guy at the Serpentarium south of Orlando had his wife pin the back of a fat cottonmouth before he reached down and grab...
