This fox was on the prowl for rodents on Pleasant Plains Road and also had a few pesky “hitchhiker” burs clinging to its coat.

New Jersey Black Bear
I assure you that no humans were harmed in the making of this photograph.
NJ bear hunt begins again soon 👎 It is a shame how effective fear mongering is in USA culture and policy making.

“Snake phobia” seems to have recently overtaken my area as well as other parts of New Jersey. The facts are that venomous snakes (Copperheads and Rattlesnakes) are quite uncommon.
The facts also are that this is an image of a common Northern Water Snake which is the most misidentified snake around.
If you can’t identify a snake don’t go near it yet also apply the theory of “Occam’s Razor”, the most common species is likely what you are looking at.
