Don't get me wrong. I'm not against bluebird boxes. I've been involved in placement of more than my share. My comments were directed more at the activities deemed necessary by many once the boxes are used by birds. Helping wildlife by mitigating habit loss is a good thing. When it comes to...

We all have our pet peeves. My growing one is the exalted status given the Eastern Bluebird. For a bird not listed as endangered or threatened, many will have you think it's nests and hatchlings need to be monitored (harassed) on a weekly basis, protected from its natural predators and given...

My 2 cents on the issue is that painting with a broad brush when either condemning or defending activities such as this tends to lean more towards idealism than realism. I'm 100% sure that much wildlife research done is for reasons other than gaining valuable information that is not currently...

Thanks Guy!

It's a bit longer than the excerpt above and I'm a hunt and peck typist (I was very proud of myself when I finally went from one to two fingers! :)) . I can scan and post the image of the article as long as it's not violating any forum rules. Could take a few days though. I only have a scanner...

I found the reference mentioned above. It did not provide the information on the road's endpoints that I had hoped. Perhaps I was thinking of another source. This one was in the Fall/Winter of 1967 issue of the Batsto Citizens Gazette. The article's title is At Cedar Bridge in 1848. In one...

I don't even like referring to these incidents as accidents. They are acts of stupidity. If the few basic rules of safe gun handling are followed there will be NO accidents. The two most important ones are to treat every firearm as if loaded at all times and to always be sure of your target, and...

I was referring to the two roads but I guess there could be a connection between there two names as well. Elizabeth Morgan had found the reference to the Jim Anderson Road in an old article in the Batsto Citizens Gazette and gave me a copy. It gave the destination of the road, which I can't...

There was a Jim Anderson Road that went through Wells Mills Park, headed in the general direction of Chatsworth. I wonder if there is a connection between the two.

Just sent a PM regarding the cabin.

Maybe the rumbling was Mrs. Leed's naughty child. I do find it odd that the above article made no mention of the NJANG's F-16s, out of the Atlantic City Airport, which can certainly break the sound barrier. Come to think of it, they even feature that little devil on their tail. :)

I learned first-hand a long time ago that there is often a big difference between what one says to the press and what gets printed. Sometimes it's a misquote and other times it could be a short quote taken out of context, perhaps even to intentionally achieve a more dramatic sentiment.

I've seen several minks in the last month. Not sure if I'm just noticing them more or if there is an upswing in their population cycle.

My son just bought a house in Winslow, surrounded by large chestnut oaks. Moving between truck and house as we work on renovations is a downright hazard right now!

I don't know if it was delivered by a contractor or a state vehicle. I would imagine the former if the pile has been sitting around a bit. I wouldn't expect a driver delivering the load to dump a little bit here, a little bit there, etc., still requiring leveling and compacting which he wouldn't...

Tis an oak gall.

I agree. We have several similar books at work and most seem to be merely citing someone else's claims in order to get something published. Al's statement is certainly true regarding some of the plants and their associated cures, but a claimed benefit from a plant should be able to stand up to...

I've been upset at how that conditions have declined at this tract over the years as well, as it is not far from my home and I've utilized it, along with my family, for close to 30 years now. Bob, I don't know if your idea on the water levels would work because it assumes all the floodgates are...

I tend to believe people overestimate most of their abilities when drunk. This applies to swimming, driving, and perhaps most of all singing and dancing.
