Thanks :). It was a great experience for the girls. Here is a better picture of her from this morning, as well as a shot of the Raptor Trust, where we took her:

She's up and alert this morning, which will make getting her out of the cage and into a box an interesting challenge. The folks at the Raptor Trust think she was hit, and has a broken bone associated with the shoulder that is often damaged when hawks and cars meet. I'll fill you guys in...

Thanks, Jerseyman. I was very hesitant to take it from the wild, for a bunch of reasons. Mostly just not fully understanding the consequences for the bird if I did. I then found another story online about a guy who captured an injured hawk with a towel, and delivered it to a rescue center, so we...

Under no circumstances will I be trying it on my own :). I just want to find someone who can care for it. I was initially very reluctant to try and capture it, but my 11 year-old daughter badgered me into it after seeing the pictures. Edit: I left a message for the folks at the Raptor Trust...

Urgent advice needed! [Resolved] Hi guys. Quick backstory: driving home this evening I saw this little guy standing on the side of the road, way too close to traffic. I swung around and pulled over, and for the next 45 minutes he stood there while I remained to protect him from traffic, and...

There are a couple of pics at the end of my other thread. The work on the mansion is dragging on, and the young lady behind the counter in the office said they keep pushing back the completion date.

My kids are just finishing up a pint of berries bought at the festival... though a friend got them for me as we were out in the woods at the time :).

That does sound pretty slick.

I think I know the bogs you guys are talking about. The old ones due east of Rockwood? We did stop in and poke around the edges. And then there are the working bogs off Daves Road near the old house (Amato's I think, isn't it?)

On the subject of vandals, which came up in the Hampton Furnace stone stealing thread: some of you may have read Beck's "Tales and Towns of Northern New Jersey," in which he mentions a mile marker on the road from Allamuchy to Johnsonburg reading "2 to L.G." The initials refer to Log Gaol, a...

9.6 inches under the diff, James, with the stock wheels and rubber.

Yes indeed, Rednek, that is some seriously deep sugar sand back in there. We saw two other vehicles all day. One a suburban with a small lift and street tires like my yota, and the other either a lifted Range Rover Discovery or Land Cruiser with knobbies. I didn't quite get a good look. There...

People have been salvaging stones in this way for millenia. I don't like seeing the ruins depleted, but without fences like the ones at Martha and Harrisville it won't stop. If these sites show no evidence of being important to the State then people will think that it's just valuable stuff...

I don't know the first thing about firefighting, but my gut reaction is to agree with this. When I see the words "wide tracked dozers" my thought is "let it burn." Nevertheless, thanks for the report, and good luck fighting it.

My plan of this morning, hastily concieved over a glass of scotch the previous evening, had been to take Batsto River road south from Quaker Bridge, and come down the West side of the Batsto River to Batsto, then cross over and take Paradise Drive from behind the cemetary all the way up to 206...

Oh, if Wild Turkey is a rye then I have certainly tasted some. And if they all taste like that I have tasted enough. :)

Yes, all true. I merely mean to point out that when there is a question that needs an answer, very often that answer isn't on the web for lazybones like me to find. I want Google Books to cover every slip of public paper there is :).

I thought I read about a resurgence of interest in rye a few years ago. Not sure if anything ever came of it. I don't think I've ever tasted a drop of rye whiskey.

Well, this has been quite a story, and once again Jerseyman gives us amateurs a lesson in the value of original sources and actual paper records. Well done, sir!

I am an Irish whiskey fan myself, although I still enjoy scotch as well. Irish seems sweeter to me, and makes a great punch if you don't feel like sippin'. Never was much of a sour mash guy.
