Guys lets just remember this is Ben's site, and is FREE. What happens to a thread is up to him, its his site. If he doesn't want further discussion on it then it is his perogative.

Eagles are oppurtunistic from what I've seen. The eagles at the Parker Preserve, feed mostly on turtles. This year I found turtle shells throughout the preserve in odd spots....big turtles too, like 14 inch redbellies and one good size snapper.

Thanks again for the compliments. I'll try to post some more shots before spring....need something to get through this cold winter.

Gabe :rofl: I remember hearing a thing about people in glass house shouldn't throw.....ah nevermind. Time to put this one into the slag heap.

The 'hotch' good times at that bar.....Barrington born and raised here also. Very nice pics Jerseyman.

Many of these companies welcome volunteer efforts. So if anyone wants to do something to improve the land just contact either organization.

From what I've seen TNC and NJCF don't share responsibilities for land. I could be wrong, but don't recall seeing any land that is duel owned. TNC may not have the funds to manage the property. I've seen them(tnc) working on properties in the bayshore areas, but that is because they have an...

Guy, any idea what kind of land that was in the before picture? Cranberry Bog? Guy, you are right for the most part I've found TNC(the nature conservancy) buys land and then leaves it as as. NJCF(new jersey conservation foundation) for the most part manages the land once purchasing it, I'm...

Nessie?? No looks like an otter to me...especially given the curious behavior. Pretty cool thing to see.

Scott, you had some really really solid points there, I'm with you 100%.

Not sure if I think they will win the Bowl, but there is something to be said for peaking at the right time and playing on house money. You see this in every sport, the phillies peaked at the right time, as did the Gints last year, and pittsburgh two years ago. We'll see what happens, but this...

Jerseyman, Thanks for the info. Is the first book on this page the one you are referring to? http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=kalm%2C+peter&bsi=0&x=92&y=21&prevpage=3 Thanks Chris

Jerseyman, I'm going to check out that book ASAP. Reading historical occurences of creatures in this area is what I'm facinated by....particulary a creature that once lived only a few miles from were I live. I wonder if this isn't a timber rattlesnake as 'Irish Hill' has the elevation that...

Jeff, you are right, I always confuse that. The red wolf is thought to be a cross between coyote and the grey wolf, and not a separate species. Maybe what we have here is a red wolf....or maybe it is just coyote's that are getting real big due to lack of competition for food sources.

The first pic in the mud is not a cougar track. It looks like a dog-like track to me. Cougar have a double scaloped heel pad in the rear and a single in the front. Also no claws will be seen(possible in sand though). Cougars while reported from time to time don't really occur here...

The yote's I've seen in NJ are quite large. My brother in law's, brother in law is from Oregon and he was with me while driving home on the parkway when we saw a yote cross the road.....He said they are significantly larger here. It is been said that the breeding with the red wolf has resulted...

Jerseyman, Thanks much for that info. I think the area you indicated is correct as it makes sense from the context I was looking at. I do know 'bays' sometimes refer to vernal pools, gravel pits(ie Carolina Bays) so realistically I could see the two words being somewhat interchangeable...

Can anyone tell me where Formosa Bay is? I was reading a document from 1892 and it made mention of the area. Thanks for the help Chris

I've never met the lady that lives there but I've met her husband(i guess) and dog(black lab). The husband from my conversations with him was a Doctor, he owns a good chunk of property .25 mile each way from their house and back. The husband who is at least in his late 80's is a real...

Thanks Guy. I though it was a section of the Wading. Something about that river, has sections of it that to me are unique from what I've seen of other pine barrens streams. Is there other streams out there that have those nice, lush, grassy, sedge like habitat adjacent(versus sandy banks)?
