I personally hate trails and find that surrounding the trails lacks much wildlife. I hardly ever see anything on trails, but if I go off trail I'm always encounter animals. I'm a big fan of no trails in the pine barrens I like blazing my own trails it is a much more wild expierience. As for...

I would probably consider chipping in also.

Raccoons shouldn't be a problem really. As long as your pond has pretty vertical sides a raccoon won't be able to get to the fish. If it is a very gradual slope than they will get the ones in the shallow water. I have lots of raccoons directly next to my pond under my shed and have never had...

Sounds like a very cool idea. Just make sure you cover that pond or the herons will eat all your fish. Do you have a picture of the pond?

Boyd and Bill thanks for the great info. I'm still doing the research and don't want to rush into a relatively big purchase like this. I was leaning towards HD only because I feel like in 1-2 years that is what I will want(eventhough I probably don't neccesarily need it). I want it to be good...

Thanks BillMecca, I think I'm leaning towards the HD camera. I really want a camera that shoots good video at night, as much of my amphibian encounters such as pine barrens treefrogs will be at night. I want to use the video for my nieces and nephew to watch as they love nature. I really want...

Is anyone knowledgable about camcorders, I was looking to buy a good camcorder for shooting wildlife. I want one with a built in hardrive. I'm just wondering if anyone is a expert in this area, and could offer any advice. Is HD neccesary? Where is the technology heading(I would like to get...

Bob I have 2 prorated personal days at my new job. If you want to head out down were I took you a couple weeks ago I would be up for it. It will probably be after turkey day sometime. Also I hate to rain on your parade but your peregrine is actually a male american kestrel......a falcon...

Just saw a striking coyote on the ac expressway around mays landing. It was heading towards some deer on the opposite side of the road. A more tawny color but a very healthy looking creature. These guys in my opinion are really growing in population size big time, I'm seeing signs of them in...

Hey Chris when your down with tina, send her my way.

Does anyone know of a website were you can input specific dates and obtain temperatures for that day? I'm trying to get individual temperatures for certain days last year. thanks Chris

While I can't speak on this particular spot, I do know the pinelands commission is making alot of effort to acquire property around jackson road. I was out looking for reptiles and did not realize I was on private property. A very old man, who I later found out is a doctor, told me that it was...

Jeff sounds like you found yourself a nice property, keep me updated on what kind of reptiles you find out there. Chris

It is always unbelievable to me how these studies don't turn up snakes. There are pine snakes in any patch of pine barrens in ocean, atlantic, burlington, camden, cape may, monmouth, and cumberland counties. I never understand how these developments go up in areas I know pines are in. I've...

I personally can remember many halloweens were the temperatures were very warm. I remember trick or treating sweating to death in weather like this. It is getting cooler towards the end of the week......enjoy this weather while it lasts.

Looks like a garter snake, very common. Do you have any pictures of those pine snakes?

Alot of times older guys will refer to snakes as three things, adders, water moccasin, or rattlers. Adders I think are what alot of people use to call milk snakes. I will post some links to some possible snakes. However it very well could be a young black rat snake. They seem to for whatever...

Please get a picture up. But most of all report the sighting to ensp of nj. It very well could stop contruction. However I'm just guessing that it is going to be a black rat or garter given the time of year. As soon as you get a picture I may be able to get you a phone number, or name of...

Last year I saw about 5 dead deer in the salt marshes along the delaware bay. I suspected people dumping them there, but after reading this maybe it was the same cause as the ones on the mullica.
