This snake was probing the forest floor for its next meal. It was also curious why I was invading its space with my camera.

Turkey Vulture chicks at nest
North Jersey
June 2024

If you happen to be hiking near an outcropping, hear ghostly hisses, and concurrently smell feces and vomit…. you have stumbled onto a vulture’s cliff nest.
This was a first for me. Never know what you will see outdoors!!

Emergence
Splitrock Reservoir
Rockaway Twp NJ
May 2024

In the shadows of a kayak launch, a Clubtail hangs from its exuvia, waiting for its wings to strengthen and “prepare for liftoff”.

Did you know that dragonflies spend most of their lives underwater?
