46er, Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have thought about making an appointment with the preserve to look through the document. I wanted to post a thread on the forum just in case somebody knows so I can save a trip. I guess I shouldn't be so lazy! Rich, Thank you very much for confirming my...

Hi everyone, I study wildlife in old cranberry farms and I got lots of help from this forum about two years ago about the history of Friendship bogs. Now I have a few new questions that I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance! I am trying to date a cranberry bog that locates a little...

I won't pick up a snake either because I think without proper training, it's too easy to bring damage to the snake physically, or from the chemical/oil on our hands. But I don't have trouble picking up turtles for IDing and taking pictures, as long as we put them back to exactly where we picked...

:) Guy is correct, I am a girl! So if one day you knock into a girl with binoculars, a camera and a clip board wandering around cranberry farms, that's me! Talking about bugs, ticks are annoying because they carry disease that you don't want to get, so you always have to check thoroughly...

I study wild birds and anurans around living and abandoned cranberry farms, as well as the plant succession (a little bit of this, a little bit of that). I enjoy the pine barrens' habitat a lot. It's really hard to believe, before I saw it by myself, that such a unique forest with such a high...

Either am I going to the shore. Driving won't be fun. However my study sites are all kind of located along Rt. 70 and 72. I am sure I will see half of New Jersey people heading toward the shore during the weekend. On the bright side, the fudge place will be re-opened! Hope you have a good...

Hi everyone, Such a hot day! Are everybody heading toward the beach? Here are pitures of some "ferocious" birds that are common in the Pine Barrens. I have to quote "ferocious" because I think they only look big and strong, but they could be easily bullied by small birds. And they are easy...

Some of my most favorate shots! River otter (Lutra canadensis) http://gallery.njpinebarrens.com/data/500/medium/river_otter_small.jpg It was my best day when I saw this guy! It's in an old cranberry farm close to the Lebanon Lake. He (she?) didn't seem to be bothered by me. Behaved like a...

Hi PinesExplr: The age of abandoned cranberry bogs is really difficult to tell from the current airphoto, because even bogs abandoned at the same time could look very different, depending on the activity of beavors, water management after abandonment, etc. I am a student at Rutgers so I have...

Thanks for the information and the instructions about how to upload pictures. The link to the "stone searching" is very amazing. Makes me feel the history is both so close and so far away! I will start uploading pictures following your instruction. Thanks again! Summerbug

Thanks for your replies! Hi everybody, Thanks for all your replies. I go to the Pine Barrens very often to do my research and it's really a pleasure to share these photos with you. Hope they would bring some joy to your life. The last picture of today: hooded mergenser (taken in the Parker...

Yes, cedar waxwings are around in the Pine Barrens. Actually they should have just came back from migration. They are very abundant in the Pine Barrens from June to September. More pictures A very cute racoon I came across last year. He was trying to hide behind a tree, poking a head out to...

Thank you! Thank you very much for the information! You don't know how much this will help me! :v: I will look around on this forum to see if I could find more information I need :)

Green Heron By the way, is there a way that I could post more than one photos each time?

Dear everyone, I have been studying wildlife in the Pine Barrens for about two years. I never knew there is such a cool forum until today! I really enjoy those pictures posted here. I do have some pictures to share! Hope you like them.

Hi everyone: I am studying the wild animals around abandoned cranberry farms, including birds and frogs. There are some quite amazing species using the abandoned cranberry farms as their habitats. One big problem now I am facing is to figure out the history of those farms, the most important...
