Hylas

Over the past few weeks I've had the pleasure of being able to photograph a pine barrens tree frog, as well as a few specimens of the new population of green tree frogs in Salem County. They are beautiful creatures and are a joy to observe and hear in the field. Many thanks to Al for his guidance, and the patience of both Al and Dan while I was taking these pics.

Also had a great time till that nasty water snake jumped out of the water and attacked me for apparently no reason.Did find one tick in my truck the next day.I flicked him out the winder to suck another day.

I had the smell of pine, deet and snake musk in my nose for a few days afterward. Good stuff!

I don't know about having all the expertise,you seem to do quite qell at finding the frogs once I get you to where their at.I track em by sound,you seem to be able to spot them seven feet away through thick bursh when their not even singing.Thats expertise I seem to excel at getting bitten by mean snakes
