    Bamber to Island Beach

    Hey everyone! Its been a while, I know. Curious if anyone has experience kayaking the path mentioned in the title (Bamber Lake to Island Beach SP). I've been tossing around the idea for years and may have a go at it coming up soon. But . . is it even possible? I'd have to pass under the...

    Nature 2012

    Figure its time I share some of this year's finds. The focus in 2012 has really been on birds, but there's been plenty else going on as well. This first round of pictures were taken March to early May. New Jersey chorus frog Young northern black racer Pine warbler Yellow-throated...

    Manchester re-zones for development

    This was just approved last night. Despite previous records from the area that indicate the T&E survey to determine absence was not comprehensive. http://manchester-nj.patch.com/articles/amid-resident-protest-planning-board-approves-master-plan-amendments

    Some winter birds

    Not one to be kept indoors . . . birds are the obvious choice in winter to help keep the madness at bay. Here's some of what I've seen: Obligate harlequin shot Ipswich savannah sparrow Brant Long-eared Sanderling GBH Pintail Dunlin Turnstone...

    December at the Parker Preserve

    Had an opportunity to experiment with a style of photography suited well for landscape . . . most of it's over the top, but its a learning process . . .

    Some more random 2010 stuff . . .

    I've somehow taken FAR less pictures this year than usual, but have very little concept of what's already been posted and what hasn't - sorry if any of these are repeats. Redbelly from the pines Killdeer and nest Carpenter Leopard Northern Gray and by popular demand...

    Black Frost 2010

    If anyone hasn't been out yet, it appears that Monday night/Tuesday morning there was a "black frost" in some areas of the pines. I'm curious to see if anyone else has noticed this in other areas. Oak species were hit hardest . . . those areas with open canopy and away from wetlands is...

    A few photos

    Some shots from this season - mostly herps but one or two other things I found interesting as well . . . First some non-herps (rare for me) Velvet ant - when you see them up close like this, it seems much more obvious that its a wasp. The problem is that they NEVER stop running. I had...

    Eaten Alive

    Cool thing I saw the other day. The pictures aren't so great, but I didn't want to risk disturbing the behavior just to get better shots. Only common species, but its something you don't see everyday. Bear in mind . . . the victim was alive and fighting the ENTIRE time. As found...

    Mapsource Users:

    No clue why I haven't thought of this before, but the idea recently dawned on me that I could copy the cd maps onto my hard drive - thereby not having to pop the cd in every time I want to see map detail in the program. Its also MASSIVELY faster which is no surprise, really. Here's a...

    Enemy of turtles

    So I went looking for these things: And I found this thing: He was hugging the road - smelling for nests to raid. Between these guys, raccoons, cats, and coyotes, its a wonder there are any turtles left. Here's the video Don't be too hard on them, though. They don't...

    more herps from the pines:

    Its been a weird time for me so far. I haven't had a chance to get out all that much lately, but cool pine barrens finds keep popping up. I feel its worth sharing, so here's some of what I've seen lately: redbelly terrapins racer in a tree orange hognosed...

    Spring so far:

    Hey everybody. I'm back in town (again), so I figured I'd post up some finds I've made in the pines since I've been around (late april). If any of these look super similar to dragoncjo's . . . its most likely because we took the pictures at the exact same time. So - sorry for that...
