We haven't been able to photograph the little critters, but further sound comparisons make us correct our identification. Now strongly believe them to be Pseudacris triseriata kalmi - a Jersey native - based on recordings on the New Jersey Fish and Wildlife website. Sorry to have...

Sorry, guys, for the duplicates - I'm still learning how to (and how NOT to) post pix here.

Sea Breeze 31 Aug 2013:

Many, MANY thanks, dogg57, really enjoyed reading the thread and looking at the pictures, especially in the context of what we saw a few days ago. Also, being educated on the history of the place. Sad, too, rough on those who lived or vacationed there. Kinda know the feeling, we had to move...

We were told by a friend who has a summer trailer at Fortesque (neat bumper sticker: 4TSQ) that Sandy did the damage. But the almost complete obliteration of the houses made me wonder. There are a couple or three houses, somewhat damaged, still there at the end of the road, but look abandoned...

Came back to the house a few minutes ago (8:30 pm) and heard what sounded like very, VERY, loud crickets in the bushes around the house. Went inside, listened to frog calls on a website and found Hyla squirella, Squirrel Tree Frog, that sounded the same. But... Hyla squirella range supposed to...

This doesn't fit "Nature" but stretching it puts it in "Environoment". Was checking Google Earth for area we were in and found a jet was far below in 01 Jun 2011 shot from the satellite: 39 degrees 18' 24.45" N 74 degrees 52' 02.28" W by their coordinates. There's an interesting...

Ro, Lori (our neighbor) and I went down 206 this morning and just managed getting pix of Solidago stricta (S3) andClematis terniflora. We'd seen patches of the latter in many spots of South Jersey during our weekend tour - it's an escape, very pretty and spectacular, native of Asia. Got chased...

Ro & I spent the past Saturday and Sunday investigating every side road we could find that lead to the Delaware Bay shore between Bivalve and the PSEG power plant. We saw a hundred or more egrets clustered on the railings of the boardwalk at the end of Strawberry Ave. in Port Norris, thousands...

The following letter was hand delivered, and receipt acknowledged, to the Pinelands Commission, published in letters to the editor of the Trenton "Times" and sent to the editor of the Burlington County "Times": 12 Aug 2013 The New Jersey Pinelands Commission 15...

P.S. My old work buddy Tommy Rovito said it best when asked what retirement was like when the rest of us were still in the grind: "Retirement is 6 Saturdays and one Sunday each week."

Lori's newer in Seizuretowne than we are, came from Medford and before that CT. She raises orchids, including one lil beauty that's smaller than Listera australis. She's also taking Russell Juelg's great Pines botany course, and has had many a "Wow!!" day with us and in Russell's weekend field...

To bobpbx: thanks we miss seeing you johnny b & Ro

Spent today roamin' by car and booted foot in the Pines with Ro and neighbor Lori Cronin - Batsto River savannahs, Quaker Bridge, Lower Forge, Hampton Furnace, Carranza Memorial, Friendship, Speedwell, Chatsworth, home. Lots of sand trail miles, pines, cedars, bushes, rare orchids and other...

The words "Woke up" come to mind...... Or, is it a coincidence that mid-August to mid-September is the peak of the shorebird migration period??? johnny b

I'd heard that the object was to provide sand to construction in north Jersey, particularly the planned additional Hudson River tunnel, which project was cancelled. This cancelled the RR renewal project.

Earlier this year Ro and I were privileged to join Dr. Emile de Vito and Bernie Knaup in locating snakes newly emergent on the Parker Preserve. While there we got to hold a mature female Pine Snake. She was surprisingly warm to the touch, very soft, very docile and friendly, and extremely...

That describes to a "T" Stokes Road from Quaker Bridge to Lower Forge. Pinestriping indeed.

Been around cars for 60+ years and I'd never heard/known about the screw-in pullout hook. Gotta go check our new (3,000 miles in first month) Escape. Thanks!!!
