If I didn't know better I"d say it was still spring.

Is that vanilla with butterscotch?

I"m afraid that this might be a case of arguing with stupid. If you argue with stupid people they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. They acknowledged the mistake about PBTF's but I think they will insist that common names are up to interpretation and that if i can...

I saw one in Cook Forest State park, PA about ten years ago.I didn't even know they were in PA till I saw it looking at me over top of a log about fifty feet off the road i was walking.I followed it for a ways before it magically disappeared.I then later that day read about their introduction...

Locals frequently pronounce it Mannamuskin and I have heard it called Port Crik as well referring to the fact it empties out in Port Elizabeth. I think they made a mistake with their White Cypress remark and came up with a quick rescue device in the fact you can't really argue common names.To me...

A couple months ago I was reading backpacker Magazine when I seen a short article on the batona Trail and the Pine Barrens.The article made two mistakes.Namely it said that Pine Barren Treefrogs were endemic to South Jersey which their not and the article four times referred to the Atlantic...

They should have a sign on the road side as well.

If you walk down old grassy roads in summer and your ankles start itching look at your socks( if their white) and you'll see tiny maroon dots moving on them or even on your ankles. Once you scratch them they come off but the damage is done once they bite you.Your body's reaction to the bite...

On the other hand the only twp"s in Cumberland without Pink would be Greenwich, Deerfield and Commercial twp which is where I"m at.I"m going to have to fix that.A pink hunt in Commercial is on!

Some of those locales in Ocean county are definite Barrens.None in Cumberland county though:-(

actually Bob I didn't realize it was in North jersey.I thought it was only native to South Jersey. I thought they were still in Cumberland County but that appears to be uncertain

Yes it is in the barrens https://www.fws.gov/northeast/njfieldoffice/endangered/bogturtle.html I have never found one but their very small,have an orange spot at the ear and like to hide in clumps of grass.Also in the barrens is the wood turtle but it is only in the northern barrens...

Personally I think they should have picked a reptile whose range encompassed the whole state but then again that would have ruled out many species that are endemic to the Barrens and probably would have been a species common in nearby states so maybe a barrens reptile isn't bad but it kind of...

Hard to tell but the grey object is shaped like a snapping turtle skull???
