    Boyd speaks wisdom.You may run into critters you have no interest in:-) The Barrens hide their wildlife well insects excepting.The woods are generally so thick that spotting wildlife is a chance occasion.Like I said dawn and dusk are best,night is good too except that us humans don't see very...

    Questions about photographing animals

    Explore Friendship bogs at dawn and dusk.Take a topo or aerial map and know how to use it.It's mazy out there but it's gorgeous,also Tulpehocken Creek from hawkins Bridge upstream is the Barrens answer to the garden of Eden.

    Hoppy spotted....

    Boas climb as well Mark but the larger they get the more terrestrial they become.I have never know of Anacondas to climb,they very seldom leave the water.

    Ground Hogs

    Had a gull die in my hands once.It had a broken wing,I picked it up and was petting it wondering how I could help it when my brother said "Whats wrong with it" I looked down and it was plainly dead.I"ve been told I look mean but that was ridiculous.
