    Cape May County Explorations

    As for the trees, going from left to right, I'm going to say Atlantic white cedar, Sourgum, Red Maple, and Sweetbay Magnolia. My confidence with those also decreases as I move towards the right.

    Google maps getting dumbed down even more?

    Very nice truck but I went in the other, more minimalist direction, for every day driving with my 79 F-100, with a 300 inline and a 3-on-the-tree tranny. I started in 1st, accelerated in 2nd, and drove in 3rd. I miss it. I spend way too much time moving through the six gears now in my Crosstrek...

    Spring/Summer Flora

    Another site you can see the white form of Blue-eyed grass is at Wells Mills Park, surrounding the rental canoes at lake's edge. Most are the more common blue form but the white ones are numerous enough to easily find. Photo is from yesterday. .

    Bobwhite quail

    Just a closed canopy stand, later along in forest succession. And by expected populations in that particular habitat, I meant essentially zero.

    Bobwhite quail

    The large quail population that many old timers recall was likely the result of widespread clearing for activities such as farming and charcoal production, which consumed vast areas of forest during the iron and glass production eras. Fires also naturally consumed much more forest back then...

    A big tree

    Yeah, between forestry classes and a summer spent measuring every single tree, 6" diameter and larger, in Central Park, NYC (along with a crew of a few others) you tend to remember things like that. My grandkids' birthdates are another matter, to my wife's annoyance.

    Seeing the leaves, I'm sure you are right

    A big tree

    Actually, circumference should be measured at 4.5 feet from the ground (AKA breast height), and on the uphill side if on a slope. It may seem like a nit-picky difference but consistent height is nessesary for comparative measurements.

    Willow Oak would be my next guess

    A big tree

    Big and in maritime forest. Southern Red Oak?

    Stone Searching Fall/Winter 2023-2024

    I stopped by this morning and it's in the same place it's always been. But either the vegetation has receded or someone has rolled it out a few feet. As far as Bob's comment about its size, it's certainly larger than anything the planes currently using the range would carry, but the range has...

    Not to worry. A package is on its way to Bob! ;)

    Red Flag Warning

    How exactly would this be a problem in a naturally fire dependent habitat? And since the prescribed burn season leads right into the highest risk part of the wildfire season, with associated hotter and faster moving fires, if fire was a problem at this time of the year for these species they...

    Zeb's Bridge

    The document below has Germania Station (later Pineview) at 4.6 miles from Lakehurst, Appollonio 6.3 miles and the 1st Toms River station at 7.2 miles. I too am curious about what was there and the origin of the name. https://www.branchline.uk/jfpdf/newjerseyrrs.pdf
