Jim, there are no fire ants in NJ.they only come up as far as southern va.they are projected to eventually reach southern nj and when they do I'm leaving.What me nad Guy encountered was north of cumberland along manumuskin creek.it was large alleghent ant mounds.their are about 20 of these up...

whip I've only heard recordings but I've caught wood frogs in cumberland county on occasion in areas that are very barrens,kirbys for one.i see them much more frquently in the mountains,poconos,wv and such but have seen them here.

if your really scared of getting bit then I'd stick to ringnecks,brown snakes,green snakes and worm snakes.these snakes are too small generally to bite and even if they try they can't break the skin.some snakes that will sometimes bite at first but quickly calm down are garters,black...

This is an old article off the Daily Journal website.I knew there is an interest in Thompsons Beach here by a few so i posted it in total. Local News: Tidal Wave Hits Cumberland County (1950) There had been no warning. A perfect or imperfect combination of the elements combined...

redneck, this would make an excellent bumper sticker. my sentiments precisely. Al

i have seen peepers that appear orange though the black x on the back is a dead give away that it is a peeper.as far as wood frogs in the barrens i have found them in millville in a cedar swamp adjacent to almost totally fresh tidal water with hardcore barrens immediately at swamp edge.Now...

they are ROUGH because their scales are keeled.as opposed to the smooth green of north jersey who has smooth scales

the frog in the pic is a wood frog.i have found them in cedar swamps in the barrens so they do live in the barrens.Bill is right on,they do sound a lot like leopards.their known to lay eggs far from permanent water sources in the most ephemeral of mud puddles and stump puddles.Guy is also...

have you checked out the southern access yet next to atco raceway? it looks doable to me.of course the swamp is still the swamp and that post location is right in the middle of it but the actual stone location I believe would be got to easier from the sout

Guy, Are you trying to kill your daughter? Your supposed to love her!:-) Hats off to jess for surviving the beast!Did you look for the stone again? Did you go in from the north again? Looking at the aerial I think the southern approach looks much easier. Al

I have been out with Bill many nights that planes have totally trashe his recordings.I've always ignored them day and night but when your trying to get a plane free recording they are right down obnoxious.Bill says they seem to really slacken off after midnight but then again so does everything...

Hey Whip! give the seventh pic down a big kiss for me you triton testing, cell phone destroying,butt photoing perv. Alfie

Lets get this straight Billy.It all started in the middle of the stream when we got into the arguement about how you been messin up all the pictures you take of me.It's bad enough I'm a fat boy but you make me a fuzzy fat boy and thats worse.You'd think you'd make my head fuzzy too but KNOOOWWW...

I don't believe it was stupid to go through that because it was a stone but possibly because it really does appear to be easier to get there from the south now that i have really birds eyed it.Now if the stone was in the middle of the swamp you do what you have to do but since it was on the...

thats what i meant by fun in the sun:-) i did have no idea they mated this late.i assumed it was earlier like most snakes.Then again I"m not taking into account they have live young so theirs no delayed egg hatching period so they can get the whole birthing process over faster.makes sense...

Bob,, it's a little late for mating season but not too late.The way the one snake is following the other i bet anything the one in back is a male and he was scent tracking the female for a little fun in the sun. Might be some baby rattlers out there come late september.A lot of times late...

done that too.jumped into what appeared to be sand and nothing but muck underneath. there is a sand plant down here that spews waste sand into a pond and as you walk across this waste sand area the sand undulates like a water bed and you will start to sink in it.scared the crap ut of me when...

I like small streams,not big enough to swim in but maybe enough to sit in when the heat cranks up.The barrens is no place to be far from water when the heat gets above 85 unless your in the plains and theirs a stiff breeze:-) Al

yes it was some of the nastiest smelling mud I've been in in a long time.Reminded me of some holes I've been stuck in along the tulpehocken.At one point i was stuck pretty bad.Guy reached his walking stick to me to pull me out.I did not have the heart to pull him in with me so i declined his...

the atv tracks we seen south of the swamp were old.The atv trail we attempted to follow out to the power line which shows up on birds eye pictures completely disappeard the last two hunded yards out to the lines.you could see the trace butthe briars were thick in it and we kept to the side of...
