Quercus stellata has bark similar to a Q. alba as well.

is that the only model that supports aerial photos or do any of the others? I am now VERY interested in one of these units.

You were misinformed - its just a rumor. Truth is gossip's prey after all.

I read what you said. I guess I took it out of context in assuming it was in some way to related to the discussion. I don't really think its hypocritical to say that its bad, but okay for research (given that the research has some bigger goal). The motives behind the two are amusement vs...

Small excerpt from a large article: Management Information Edition Author: BROWN, WILLIAM S. EDITED AND REVISED BY G. HAMMERSON There's a reference list if anyone wants to see it, but it was a mile long and a pain to post up here.

Where exactly does the hypocrisy fit in again? Its okay to handle a snake for fun, but not for conservation research?? And at what point were we talking about pickling animals? Who exactly has EVER done radio-tracking research on timbers in NJ and then pickled them? We aren't talking about...

Al I agree with you that pretty frequently these animals are relatively unaffected by a short period of responsible handling followed by release. For whatever reason though, timbers are EXTREMELY sensitive to human contact . . . I've even been told that frequent visitation to communal basking...

Al, in many cases "chipping" is done to determine the habitat used by the entire population. If causing a controlled stress to a small percentage of that population in order to keep a walmart from being built on that land (and killing them all) is BS, then I'm all about the BS. Also I...

Some shots from this season - mostly herps but one or two other things I found interesting as well . . . First some non-herps (rare for me) Velvet ant - when you see them up close like this, it seems much more obvious that its a wasp. The problem is that they NEVER stop running. I had...

adding a lane. Luckily the majority of it will be cut from the median.

Sweet! They're one of those snakes that you know are out there, but they blend in so well that you usually only see them during a random stroke of luck.

usually no snakes do . . . just because arms/legs/scales/fur/spines will fold back if prey is taken head first (and become obstacles if taken backward). for ribbon snakes though . . . they're kinda lame in a sense. their venom is super-weak, they can't constrict, and aren't tough enough to...

Doesn't bother me. Things must die for others to live. If a big frog was eating the snake it'd be no different.

both of those species are abundant in places, but bear in mind they're also totally absent in some places where they were once just as abundant. i think its great to see someone might actually take steps to protect an animal BEFORE its on the brink of annihilation.

Cool thing I saw the other day. The pictures aren't so great, but I didn't want to risk disturbing the behavior just to get better shots. Only common species, but its something you don't see everyday. Bear in mind . . . the victim was alive and fighting the ENTIRE time. As found...

yeah dude. laws are laws. stop trying to give advice, rookie.

dog . . . coyote . . . fox. although - domestic dogs usually drag their feet, so unless you saw drag marks between prints its more likely one of the last two (depending on size)

Pretty sure there are more than two FL panthers and they're not doing so hot. One breeding pair is not a viable population.

there hasn't been a viable population of mountain lions here in a very long time.
