    spiny softshell

    sorry to say i never did. it was one of many goals i set for myself for 2005 and this one died in the intermediate planning stages. i was able to obtain more specific information about where to find them, but nothing seemed concrete enough to go through with a trip. I also had problems...

    The Timber aka "Pine" Rattlesnake

    Ha! No, that was an excellent story! I especially like the "maybe a spider by the snake?" part . . . . Now I live in Jackson and I'm both very happy and pissed off at reading all this. I knew there were pbtf's on that side of town and i've suspected a population of rattlesnakes SOMEWHERE...

    bog turtles

    or possibly spotteds. spotted turtles are genetically and morphologically VERY similar to bog turtles--and whitesbog would be a perfect place for them. a hatchling spotted would be VERY easy to mistake with a hatchling bog. even the adult spotted turtles become more melanistic the older they...

    Going Camera Crazy

    technically brandon you shouldn't have to use ANY software. you're probably using the olympus "camedia" package, right? every olympus i've owned (that model included) is recognized automatically by the computer and should open as a usb mass storage device or removable drive. then you can copy...

    a few new pics from barnegat light

    I heard that too---I kept an eye out but w/o any luck. There were a bunch of birds randomly hanging about off the very end of the jetty---which is where everyone with a scope was today. Problem was by the time I got that far out, they were already headed back down the beach (while i was headed...

    a few new pics from barnegat light

    Had the day off, so i decided to hit barnegat light and look for the harlequins (as well as some other things). It was insanely windy, however, so I imagine I didnt' see quite as much as i would have in other conditions. In any case: First I opted to climb the lighthouse for the full...

    Bald Eagles

    Well . . . i went out yesterday to the manasquan reservoir expecting ducks and canada geese--but I was surprised nicely. I walked down the short trail from my car to the water . . . loud obnoxious and oblivious as ever--when I saw this: Here are my other two pics: I have...

    New rules target geese problems

    I have no official research to refer to this to back me up . . . but when i was taking environmental science (and later ecology), i was taught that development created more "grazing areas" (aka parks, golf courses, lawns), and that natural selection also played a role. A majority of...

    finally went birding

    Long overdue--i was able to get out to allaire today for a few hours of late-day birding. Didn't turn out too bad, either. Nothing spectacular, but I was pretty happy considering I haven't been out in so long . . . Here's what we saw: They're so common but so underappreciated...

    Tiger Salamanders

    I've made attempts at tiger salamanders for the last two years without success. Either my leads are way off, or i'm doing something wrong. "warm" rainy nights in january . . . specific south jersey vernal pools. The attempt is to find adults migrating to/from their breeding pools. I know its...

    What's Your Favorite Gear?

    This list is always changing as I buy new toys that I "can't live without". Always: etrex legend c digital camera gore-tex boots (well worth the money. cheaper boots generally don't last me two months, but i can get a year and change out of a good pair of waterproof boots) snake hook...

    Black Racer

    I've had similar experiences with racers . . . their reliable aggression is what makes them my favorite snake to catch -- its always exciting. I also had a black racer strike at a 45 degree angle--its was in allaire state park. When it struck (up) at me, it flung its body so violently that it...

    What kind of tracks are these??

    Although my adding that they're definatly some sort of canine doesn't add much to the discussion, do you recall vertical lines between one print and the next? As a general rule, coyotes and wolves will perfect-step--leaving more textbook tracks, while domestics usually have a "lazy" walking...
