    Today's trip 12/30

    Swallow-tailed Kites There are times when my wife and I are outside our house and dozens of STK's fly roof-top level. They are now my favorite bird-of-prey. Tom and I are going to Juniper Springs Wilderness Area and will canoe the creek, planning to run to Lake George. There are Atlantic Cedars...

    Oswego River Preserve

    Question Is it possible The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and The New Jersey Conservation Foundation (TNJCF) share responsibility for overseeing their lands? It would seem that TNJCF ostensibly has the same mission statement of TNC, only New Jersey centric. Maybe a cooperative effort? If true, it...

    Ivory-Billed Woodpecker and $50 Grand

    That's Possible! OK Tom, that's possible, very possible, it's more than a 250 mile trip one way, but like I said, definitely in the realm of possiblities. The Gator's will be active, so are you sure you want to walk or canoe with 18 footers?

    Oswego River Preserve

    The Nature Conservancy I recall back in 1995 (?) The Nature Conservancy (TNC) bought a large tract of land bordering Willow Grove Lake out to Rt.55. Prior to this Dupont had bought the land years ago and sank wells in numerous sites, the goal being to use the freshwater for their industrial...

    Ivory-Billed Woodpecker and $50 Grand

    Ancient Range of Ivory-billed Woodpecker See Cornell's link below for more info about the IBW's range. New Jersey is not included in the historic range, but who knows, maybe thousands of years ago? Archeological findings in Native Peoples sites are not considered representative of its range...

    Snowy Owls On January 2nd, 1997, the day after our 20th wedding anniversary, my wife and I went to Brigantine and saw two Snowy Owls, one on a cedar post and the other sitting in the marsh grass. They were so clear to see, close to the dike, and just sat there, moving their heads in a nearly...

    Wolf in Voorhees

    Wolf Hybrid It definitely looks part Husky, and less wolf, though I have seen black wolves in the wild---the head profile is the give-away. Personally I think wolf-dog hybrids should be against the law.

    Have ticks always been a problem?

    Pardon me, Furball. You are correct. Lake Michigan is a little larger than Lake Okeechobee. As far as fox squirrel, they are abundant in Florida. You just haven't seen one yet. The most I've seen were beyond Orlando and they were large, darker brown and sure looked like a monkey to me until I...
