    Peeper toes, Alfie goes, and a spadefoot's nose. Off for Wharton Saturday evening -- hoping for some early wonking. Probably too soon ...

    another barren night

    We returned to the flooded area visited last night at Belleplain, prepared to wade a road leading to a frog hotspot located near a gravel pit. Unless one has visited here before, it's hard to be impressed by the amount of water this place has taken. A dry road (Alfie wades this in the photos...

    another barren night

    Thanks, Guy. Yeah, the boys were out pretty late last night. :) So hard to focus on the frogs with the camera in the dark (even while wearing a headlamp). The what-would-have-been best of the photos had to be discarded. But it's all so fun and relaxing... even if the images don't turn out...

    another barren night

    Revisted a favorite bog of ours tonight in Belleplain State Forest -- the water level was totally insane. So was the singing. Peepers, chorus frogs, spadefoot toads, and one lonely leopard frog crooned. The spadefoots were a first for Alfalfa and me. The night, magical.

    Tuesday with Alfie

    Now you tell me. Some clown there, hanging out of a window, sold me a rail ticket to "Paradise" for 20 bucks. :(

    Google Street View Incident

    A cool "job" that would be. And not such a bad idea. I've been enjoying a google streetview virtual drive down the Dalton Highway in Alaska. Click by click. Started way up at Prudhoe Bay and will keep clicking to Fairbanks. At mile 140 now :), where things start getting interesting and...

    Google Street View Incident

    http://facet-tech.com/images/Jabba-August2007.jpg I saw of fleet of these vehicles putt-putting around Cape May County yesterday. I'm guessing they were acquiring street-view images for Bing.com? The trucks I saw were flashing strobe lights and had an interesting array of camera lenses on...

    afterglow

    Peter Gabriel's "Here Comes the Flood" would also have fit the day, Oji. The rivers were beasts. But alluring as well. Kayaking would have proved quite the adventure, with the waters spreading wide and into the swamps, creating rare paddleways between maple and cedar.

    another barren night

    thank you, glo. "night trail" fails to capture what i was sensing. the photo is a hand-held time exposure of about 30 seconds, taken as i was walking up a railroad grade toward a pond full of peepers and leopard frogs. the sound of the frogs as i approached was surreal, another whipped-up...

    Thanks, John. With the entire area turning into one humongous swamp, this might be the mother of all frog years. :) B & I, This'll link you to the field recorder I'm using. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/432017-REG/Fostex_FR2_LE_FR_2_LE_2_Channel.html When I was shopping...

    another barren night

    Spotting the first guy of the year is always a challenge. Tonight, I was in a small pond full of ear-piercing peepers, shrieks echoing like mad. But once one focuses down, and lets the eye see past the aural distraction, the little guys start popping into view all over the place. Here's my...

    Wing thing re-cap....(keeping it civil)

    No, Turtle. I had a long ride home and decided to consume Alfie's tribute. I saved the flower, though. One expects it will be wilted by the time I get around to delivering it. I'm terribly sorry, gang, for not contributing a single correct trivia answer. I thought I had the Charlie's Angels...
