Wildlife

During my lunchtime road ride we saw some deer run across the road and then figured out why.

Don’t worry these pics are zoomed in but we were far enough away and took the pics of them in the woods as we rode past and not calling them to look here like paparazzi.

I escorted a garter snake across the road today.

I’m hearing lots of chatter about a possible mountain lion sighting in Allamuchy in the last few weeks. Any legit info?

Crappy pics, but I finally saw some javelina.

Squirrels up here seem to be getting darker.

A black squirrel is a squirrel with black fur caused by a genetic mutation in a pigment gene.
The mutation is most common in eastern gray and fox squirrels, but can occur in other species as well.
Black squirrels are fairly common, with biologists estimating that one in every 10,000 squirrels has a black coat.

I thought it was a squirrel that mans the wall and guards the realms of men

I know it’s not the best photo but hubby was curious. Print is about size of silver dollar.

I said bobcat…?? No other prints in area

Coyote?

 

[iman29]

I’ve seen eagles in the distance and flying past but never got a pic until this one last week.

I heard it squawking before I saw it as it’s a very distinct sound.

This was in Califon near the Hoffman’s bridge on river road. Might have been eyeballing fish or the fine selection of ducks and geese swimming below.

I got cold because I stopped to watch it for so long. Pretty cool to see in person.

Based on size comparison you mentioned I’d say probably a fox.

Seals have been here for about a month. Lots of tourists today

Fox on the side of the road at Sandy Hook probably looking for a handout. Shit ton of deer on the side of the roads there as well along with gawkers stopping their cars in the middle of the road to feed them (which you’re not supposed to do…)

He was probably annoyed that I didn’t have a handout for him!
