Sitting at my desk yesterday and this appears in my field of view. Scared the shit out of me. She's still there this morning. Probably been feasting on SLFs.

So i found a small dead bat in my house today. It was stuck to a glue trap on the floor of my utility room in the BASEMENT! WTF is a bat doing in the basement? I really hope there aren't any more. Had to keep this on the DL from wifey to avoid the freak out.

My neighborhood is fenced in yards so it’s weird seeing deer roaming around my front yard.

deer can jump something like a 8 or 10 ft fence from a standstill, so your typical suburban fence dont mean shit to them

This little guy was floating around my property on Sunday, pretty sure I posted pictures before.

This shot was taken through a set of binoculars so we didnt scare him off and we could get a closer shot.

Depends on weather.

He most likely woke up hungry and was waiting for a slow OOS rider to come along. 🤪

my buddy was teasing me about having bear spray hiking in NE Pa/NJ recently so I looked it up:

NJ black bears don't hibernate: What that means for you

Once the winter sets in many people in New Jersey think they don’t have to worry about black bears because they’re all hibernating. Contrary to popular opinion, black bears don’t hibernate in the Garden State, they torpor and there’s a big difference.

Well look at that. You learn something new every day.

I found this washed up on the trail today.
I blame it on the windmills, or perhaps it was struck by one of those e-bikes.

looks like a heroin bag next to the poor guy - probably laced with fentanyl.

My wife and I went for a walk around Lake Parsippany over the weekend, and there is a log that we often see a few turtles sunning themselves on. Fortunately she decided to bring her big camera with her this time.



I know @Norm likes turtles.
