That's an amazing red toad. Its totally not a spadefoot, though.

Ha! Yeah that's what wharton looks like alright . . .

Allaire is an amazing place to bike . . . you just have to be careful there. There are quite a few places to thrash your bike (and yourself) or end up in the river if you're not completely on your game. -Bob

You know . . . i've only been on pieces of the batona . . but alot of it seems like closed-in no-scenery type trails. Although i found a pinesnake on the batona once . . . so that's a plus. -Bob

I got about halfway through . . . the further i read, the more twisted and unfairly skewed the point of view seemed. The I scrolled up and realized its a self-published piece of opinion hosted on a website whose main product is wild animals. Did you know you can buy primates? Does that...

No apology necessary. If I ever see him out there, the next big topic of discussion on this site will be the article describing how a young man was arrested for beating an old man half to death in the middle of the woods.

This is the guy i was talking about before. http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/showthread.php?t=1592

Oh no--the fun starts now. I'm already paying for my fun last week. I can't wait to see what august has in store for us . . .

Yeah no worries man. I've had mine since January, and as with all my equipment, its thus far been through hell. And its true--you need to know and understand the manual functions before really being able to take the kind of shots you want, but once you do, you can get amazing pics. You'll be...

A healthy box turtle can live 80+ years in the wild. The only major threats to them as individuals are hibernation and cars. The longest record I've heard of is 138 years in the wild. -Bob

HAHA . . . copycat.

I hear ya. I've lived in northern ocean . . . forever. When i was younger I'd see box turtles in the woods and crossing roads all over the place. I once saw 15 box turtles in the period of two hours in allaire. Now . . . I can spend a whole day there . . . or at any of my frequents and I'm...

The only things you'll find this time of year are nesting females and raided nests. Its still at the end of nesting season--i'm pretty sure gestation is around 70 days . . . and even at that alot of the hatchlings seem to overwinter (a fact i was ignorant of until seeing hordes of them crossing...

Its "species of special concern" . . . NJ's rank just below threatened--which gives it really no good protections status. Box and spotted turtles are also special concern. Its funny that you meantion Great Bay . . . I was there about a month ago and in the course of one drive we saw 6...

Brandon, I came across the same problem when i got my first digital. Once the winter comes, you'll also discover that alkalines drain about 10x faster when its below 50 degrees. My suggestion is to go out and just buy some energizer NiMH rechargables. Nickel metal hydride has barely...

Wow! I've been trying to get a picture of a coastal plains integrade for years now . . . if you feel comfortable with it--mind sending me a pm for the general area?

There are still a few populations of them around. I usually see them every few trips to Double Trouble and Colliers. The easiest way to find them is that they get really noisy upon approach. -Bob

Nice pinesnake, stu . . . seems the snakes are around and its just a matter of coming across them. I know they're keeping tabs on pines, rattlers, and corn snakes in south jersey in a number of places, but I've never come across a program that allowed participation to the point of recording...

Yeah there have been 6 in the past week . . . all within five miles of my house and that's just word of mouth. I'm sure this will crinkle a few noses in disagreement, but I LOVE that the bears finally made it down here. -Bob
