Awesome pics Mark!Where is turkey swamp? and yes Bullfrogs are not supposed to be in the Barrens.Then again soft tissue isn't supposed to be in dinosaur fossils either.oops! My bad!

I remember the time we went out to the pbtf location down my way we only heard treefrogs (PB"s) down the slope in the swale and we were hearing leopards,greens and greys in and around the pond.I almost think i remember bullfrogs as well but that can't be because that pond dries up in summer and...

I have seen the pond dry and walked across it's bottom but have never seen the swale where thet PBTF are go dry.I think it may be spring fed but find no outlet,must resink.

what brought you to that spot in the first place? It's literally on the edge of the barrens.to the north is te3chnically a pine/oak forest or really an oak/pine forest and to the south it is definitely not barrens at all.the treefrogs last stand there for sure.

I know quite a few folks over on your side of the river.None right in Dorchester but a few in Leesburg,Heislerville and Delmont..funny how I was right next to the fire and never smelled it but your probably 4 miles or more from it and smelled it.all in the wind i guess:-)

Where the PBTF's are is not a cedar swamp.It's in a grassy wet swale that I think may be kept wet by spring water because when the nearby vernal pond dries completely up this swale still holds water.It's close enough to a forested area that if the forest was on fire and firefighters weren't...

Awesome sky shots Whip! is that land I see fourth pic down Delaware? I imagine this is sunset so must be looking west. 46er I have come to the conclusion they are septic tanks.I forget who told me they were gun emplacements but recently Whip found another one right behind a hose that still...

Okay Chris I checked.The fire was west of 555 and south of shaws mill road all the way down to the RR tracks,jumped Ackley road.It does not appear to have crowned (all I could see was along 555,shwas mill is gated and ackley is still blocked off).It appears to done a right nice job of clearing...

I find spotted turtles down here quite often,usually along roadsides bordering the edge of salt marshes.

every fire i walk through I find box turtles.Have never found a snake yet.

Sometimes after long wades through huckleberry I"ll wake up at night with cramps in my quads from pushing through the brush.

you know chris I hadn't thought of that.it is down in that area.Bill is supposedly going out there in a few nights to listen for treefrogs.he will find out.i would run down there now but my heel spur is killing me.My orthotic pads are in and I have to pick them up tuesday.been limpin around for...

the video they showed looked like a ground fire.It wasn't crowned in the video,matter of fact it looked like a back fire they were filming.

Mostly oak interspersed with large pine and an occasional thick clump of Laurel.The swamps in that area are mostly maple/gum.generally very open woods though the huckleberry can get tiresome.

http://www.thedailyjournal.com/viewart/20140423/NEWS01/304230067/Crews-battle-forest-fire-Downe This is less then two miles from my house but the wind is blowing out of the NW so I can't smell it.Can see the smoke when I manage to get out from under the canopy.

Yes the bodies are very similar.The heads look nothing alike but most folks don't get close enough to see the head well befoe they have either killed it with a stick or their running the other way.Tip off for a Moccasin is the white stripe through the eye and the very triangular head also the...

The three mile swim was a self imposed shake down for upcoming swim season.(high school) plus just to show myself I could:-)

swam the length of Union lake when I was 16.from first cove up to the river inlet.almost 3 miles in 100 minutes. I think I"d need a tow now.
