Great photos Summerbug!! If you don't mind me asking...are you a boy or girl? Not that it matters or anything. Jeff

I'm not a herper compared to some on the forum but this I do know: Box turtles can live in a relatively small area with a great deal of human activity and often when a box turtle is relocated it exposes new disease into a new box turtle population. Apparently, box turtles can live within a...

Yeah it is an interesting area. Very soothing. I suspect Decou pond should be alive with frogs right now!! If you bring hip waders or roll up your pants you can take a nice walk around. Jeff

Great shots!

that is funny, I posted the same video this Wednesday morning under the "barrens of fire" thread. There are a lot of different threads on this fire. Jeff

Nice shots. I saw an otter once not too far from where you were, still in Lebanon but a different bog system. I saw him in the water, made a looping motion like the loch ness monster :mrgreen: Thanks for sharing the photos, they are all very nice! Jeff

fire video Wow! that fire can move fast! Jeff

I grew up in Middletown. When the first report came out I thought they were referring to an area near the middletown train station but I see now that they are refering to the woods around the tracks by the Earle weapons station. I used to party back there as a teenager. The area around the...

I get alot of cedar waxwings in my yard. Jeff

I couldn't make it unfortunitely, how was it? Any pics?

This sums it up nicely. Just wanted to add that the seeds in the pine cones of some pitch pines don't open until confronted with severe heat (like an intense fire) the pines have historically been subject to wild fires in geological history. The trees where this fire occurred (the plains) are...

A couple crows have been hanging around the house. I also have seen two hummingbirds and the same cardinal has been hanging around alot...see him everyday. Jeff

I would concur with tulip.

Wow Tom, you covered alot of ground in one day!! Jeff

Cool!

I think tulip is a good guess. I think I might go with Locust though, just based on the bark. I seems a little more furrowed and dark that most tulips. Jeff

That is pretty funny, by making the public aware of it, they only encourage people's curiousity. Oh Well, I can't blame anybody for wanting to see it. My friend Lee who runs the Pine Barrens Stove/bait/hunting shop down the road told me that a 3 foot croc was in Presidental lake a few years...

I came across a bunch of guys in a pit near my house one day who were all decked out in full combat fatigues with the face paint and everything and they were preparing for paintball warfare. I have no idea if they could have been these guys or not but I thought it odd to be that involved in the...

Don't feel bad, I've come up short there also. I have also caught some there on a few occasions. I am not certain why the fishing is tough there. Some bogs that I know should be full of fish but are pretty slim pickings and others that seem identical produce tons of them. A mystery I have...

I used to fish there with my Dad and brother when I was a kid. Later with teenage friends. My Dads ashes were scattered in round valley. It was a town before they turned it into a reservior and I heard you can still see houses and buildings at the bottom. I remember one time fishing there in...
