Had an opportunity to experiment with a style of photography suited well for landscape . . . most of it's over the top, but its a learning process . . .

Haha whoops . . . I clearly was not paying close enough attention . . . no that snake is fine . . .

that snake is either dead or dying. sorry to be Buzz Killington . . .

Don't forget all the bear sightings around Jackson a few years back . . . as far as hibernation . . . black bears exist on the coastal plain successfully in other places, so it could be possible here. One expanding potential for bear hibernation sites might be existing coyote dens. They're...

I agree that there needs to be more indepth investigation, but Al . . . . . . seriously? That's just silly.

That's some great stuff. Lord knows you seen more than I have this year . . . here and elsewhere.

Thanks, guys! Jeff is right on the money - its a scarlet snake. Found in the pines . . . they're around, just super hard to come by. I've seen them in FL too, but posting them here would be cheating.

I've somehow taken FAR less pictures this year than usual, but have very little concept of what's already been posted and what hasn't - sorry if any of these are repeats. Redbelly from the pines Killdeer and nest Carpenter Leopard Northern Gray and by popular demand...

badass find, Jeff. I've never actually seen black rat in the pines . . . let alone an juvie.

great project - its always great to see plans like this come to fruition. Bob - even though my date is long up, I would still like to meet up at some point. I'll show you some herps if you show me some plants . . .

Thanks. The lens I used was a canon 50mm macro. Not really top of the line, but it gets the job done. The bird was found fluttering on a sand road . . . when I came across it, i dripped it some water which it happily took - then perched it back on one of the trees bordering the road. I...

Saw some cooperative dragonflies today . . . figured I'd give some tight macro shots a try. EDIT: Updated with ID's from a local expert. These are all Seaside Dragonlets - Erythrodiplax berenice These last two are blue dashers - Pachydiplax longipennis Found this little...

In the puddle did they look small, black, and otherwise nondescript? You got a fowler's toad there. Though the green one is interesting . . . any more recent pics?

Nice! So you must have some type of vernal pond on the property . . . you should make a point to see the adults breeding in the spring. its pretty intense.

not buying it . . .

yeah as time goes by, the affected areas become more obvious . . . but there's still some life out there . . .

Bob its funny you mention that - I've been meaning to pick his brain about this. Doesn't surprise me that he called it. Chris - just a little shelter is all they'd need to get through it. They appear unaffected. I think the animals directly dependent on the insect population would be...

If anyone hasn't been out yet, it appears that Monday night/Tuesday morning there was a "black frost" in some areas of the pines. I'm curious to see if anyone else has noticed this in other areas. Oak species were hit hardest . . . those areas with open canopy and away from wetlands is...

Just a few things I've seen around the last few weeks. Fowler's Toad Leopard Frog Spring Peepers: Chorus Frogs: Garter Snake: Things are really starting to get going now, but I'm out of state until next week. So for now this is it.

honestly, i'm not sold on any choice until I see leaves.
