Here are some pictures of some spotted turtles found on the edge of the southern pine barrens. A couple dozen were seen in total so appears poachers haven't found this spot yet.

Seems like there is a reason as to why I'm seeing bald eagles all over the place. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070316/ap_on_sc/bald_eagles;_ylt=AoUme.Svl1zaKHS17D9PI6txieAA

I was watching a show on njn last night on ravens in scotland, which was really interesting actually. It made me think how I almost never see crows anymore in camden county. When I was in high school I would see dozens everday in my front and back yard hopping around looking for food, and I...

Interesting article, I find it discomforting they are offering a $20 dollar reward for each leetch captured. Seems irresponsible to have the average joe digging through sphagnum bogs searching for leaches, most likely confusing them with salamanders...

Well today I got my camera it has been out for a week for the third time. So far I got a raccoon, possum, and a hairy leg of a homo sapian. Today while I didn't get a bobcat, I did get a couple things that I'm pretty estatic about. This confirms the scratch marks and the unusual scat, that...

I'm not really into birding but I find birds of prey to be awesome creatures. Today my mom came into our house saying there was a bald eagle flying over our house in haddonfield. I laughed at her thinking there was no way a bald eagle would be in camden county let alone haddonfield. Well she...

Ok, need some snake experts help here. As I've said before I know little about snakes behavior and habitats, turtles are my thing. Today I found what appears to be the beginnings of a freshly dug pine snake den. It was a hole in the side of a mound of sand, about as wide as a mini basketbell...

Bob, just wondering if you have been out to see that timber rattlesnake since your last trip. I know he/she had some health issues just wondering if you've seen it since. Thanks Chris

Went out around 7 am to see what the rain drove out, saw lots of all the common critters(box turtles, racers, water snakes, skinks, swifts, and frogs). Here are some of the pics wasn't going to post them but the woods have been really dead lately so this was a moderately good day. This guy...

This one is so far fetched, enjoy, http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/15317566.htm Also, here is an interesting one about a seal washing up on jersey beaches, http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/15369361.htm

I was just looking at the list of reptiles and amphibians in new jersey. I was real suprised to see that they listed timber rattlesnakes as occurring in gloucester and cumberland counties. I always thought they were restricted to burlington and ocean. Also does anyone know if five-lined skinks...

Haven't been out in a while due to the rain and heat. Decided to brave the heat, ticks, and pine flies and search for a pine snake. Within my first couple minutes I came across this mud turtle, a nice find for me and my first one since 1990, she was trying to bury under some leaves to get out of...

Well I've lived in my house for 25 years, never have I seen a reptile or amphibian. I live in barrington which has about zero areas for reptiles. So far this year I found a worm snake in my backyard, have a green frog and bullfrog that have made a home out of my pond. And two days ago found a...

I was down in cumberland county yesterday around the millville area. After being in the woods about two hours I came across something which I believe was a bear. In a densely wooded area I heard a noise which was kind of like a hissing, snarl, breathing sound. I whistled and clapped my hands not...

Went to look for pine snakes this morning. Came up empty, so I went to my cant miss racer spot. There was no racer there but instead this guy which I was much happier to see. He was sitting under a bridge crossing a cedar stream. I realized after about five minutes why snakes like this spot when...

Went out hiking today got out around 10:30 in cumberland county. The first hour I was out there turned out to be my best ever. First stumbled upon this smallish racer, he was the first of six I would see and the 18th in three trips. Next I saw these two female boxies they were very heavy...

Was down in cumberland county yesterday and thought I came across bobcat tracks. They were in a sandy area next to a pond. I didn't take pictures because they were made in such thick sand were the print didn't stick too well, and I could only find two prints. They were clawless tracks, 4 toes...

Went out hiking today and looking for wildlife. Saw 5 black racers, 6 spotted turtles, 2 fowler's toads, tmtc musks, redbellies, and paints, and 1 male box turtle. A pretty good day for me, here are some pics,

Could someone tell me what kind of plant this is, I am clueless when it comes to plants, flowers, etc. Also, here is a pic of two racers mating? I think, close as I could get without disturbing them. Thanks The snakes The plant/flower

Went out to one of my spotted turtle spots today. Saw about 4-6 mostly females, all were basking and my attempts to catch them were futile. However I must have stumbled upon the first day of breeding season for musk turtles. In all saw about thirty and then stopped counting, most were swimming...
