    Sound identification

    yes they appear to be correct though i will point out northern grey treefrogs and southerns can only be told apart by song and DNA,not by sight and to tell a fowlers from an american toad takes a wart count in the parotid glands.were not supposed to have american toads in south jersey,only in...

    snapping turtle

    If they would do that to a turtle next they will graduate to cats and dogs and then to babies and smaller kids,anyone or anything weaker then they are.Their not only murderers since the turtles death was to no purpose but cowards as well.Mayhaps we should give them to the lions so they could see...

    Turkey Beard

    any semi open pitch pine lowland habitat is a good place to find it.I know an old cycle trail that is now so overgrown that you have to feel your way down it till it hits some slightly higher ground and thats where the beard grows.if you have gps I can send you a track to the trail or i can send...

    Webb's Mill

    after reading their solutions I don't think the bafflers will work where their dam is located.I think if you baffle their dam they will either move up or downstream and immediately build another dam.just my two cents,maybe their not really that smart? Al

    Millville Bunkers Destroyed?

    No fear,the bunkers should not be destroyed.Both sets are on state land.the racetrack has done nothingas of yet south of buckshutem road.The racetrack if it develops south of the road as they plan to will make it so you have to access the eastern bunkers from the east (555) instead of from the...

    Death of a Child by Snake, 1893

    If the snake was already as warm as the baby then no it would have no reason to seek the babies warmth.If the snake had a body temp in the low 80's it would not be seeking warmth and if above it would be seeking heat relief (shade) so knowing the temp that day would help. Snakes do not know if...
