Great recording! Amazing number of different species in one place. Many thanks for posting; sending copies to my kids in NJ.OK, and WA.

Since this thread is about frogs and since we live in (just) the Pines: last night we were almost deafened by the ruckus from the wet retention pond across the road: 2 or more bullfrogs, zillion northern gray tree frogs, eastern spadefoot toads, green frogs.

This is located on the road from Rte 49 down to Port Elizabeth where it crosses a sand railroad, SE corner of the intersection. The plants are/were spectacularly red flowered and grew on a bank between the flat area of the tracks and the bordering woods. I think I was told that the area was a RR...

Al, I really don't know. We drove a lot of the roads in and around the park, saw only one stand of Atlantic White Cedar (none really thick trunked but a bunch of really tall, skinny ones). Didn't see any cypress but not to say there isn't any. Would take tromping into the woods to find out...

Ro and I were on our way to Belleplain State Forest (first time there) so we stopped at the intersection of CR 646 and the RR. The bank where the deep red plants were seen has been gouged and roughed with gravel dumped on it. Hope the plants (Impmopsis rubra) survive.

Nice pictures!

I remember hearing/reading: "any time there's two or more people involved, it's politics." Re this thread, following is a letter I've mailed today. *** 22 May 2014 34 Mayfair Road Southampton, NJ 08088-1015...

Question: were there any ticks on the island? Any signs of deer?

Thanks very much Al. Ro downsized it, so here goes ....

17 May 2014 - Ro, Karl Anderson, Gale Cannon and I were up plant hunting in Hackleberry State Park. Found Squaw Root, Virginia Pipewort, lotsa Showy Orchis, but only plants and no blooms of Yellow Lady's Slipper. ... and a number of really big Tulip Poplar, like the one below. Plant list...

Last evening when Ro & I went down to flag one of our new test sites, we saw three small white terns hunting over the first bog south of North Gate. They were there for over a half hour. I can't remember seeing terns over fresh water in the Pines before. No binoculars with us so species...

Teegate: if you'll e-mail me ur e-mail address I'll send you coordinates for the spots we checked. One had 100's if not more plants but only dozens of flowers when I was last there in 2012. Incidentally, Camden College campus has some and some other interesting plants..... My e-mail...

I used to help Paul Schubert of the Philadelphia Botanical Club monitor some sites for the USDA in Camden County. Here's an excerpt from his recent e-mail to me: "... David and I monitored Big Timber Creek last year, where it took us awhile to even find that population. You will remember that...

What an interesting trip and report! Did you guys have a copy with you of the state "Champion" trees from DEP? <http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/forest/community/bigtree_registry.html>? That lists Sweet Gum/Liquidambar styraciflua on Ft Dix Road north of Pemberton with 18'11"...

Our rain gauge shows 6 inches of rain since morning Wednesday. According to news article, that's equal to what Pensacola FL got in one hour (!) and Los Angeles got all last year.

That looks a lot like a powerline area the Phila Botanical Club visited down near Peck's Corner on Rte 49.

Wall Street "Journal" 29 Apr 2014 "Personal Journal" section, pg D3, has an article about University of North Carolina resrarch of 2011 and 2012 involving outdoor workers wearing permethren treated clothes and those not. Those not wearing were bitten roughly twice as often. Chigger and...

On my way at 4:45 pm to NJMP the smoke of the Shamong Twp fire appeared to be generated in the direction of Hampton Furnace. A Park Police SUV blocked the entrance to Hampton Furnace Road from 206.

ecampbell: Sorry I misunderstood your question. Ro got the form from the following website: <http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/ensp/rprtform.htm> However, she couldn't find a way to e-mail it to them, so she's snail mailing it.

Oji: Many, MANY thanks. Didn't realize the problem was that bad. Deleted all specific location info. ecampbell: didn't know there are different forms. Don't even know if it was male or female.
