My friend and I were bow hunting in the Catskills in the Bear Spring Mountain park area early November 2009. We were walking down a trail when we saw what we thought was a deer. about 100 yards away. The trail we were walking on was about 5' wide enough for two men and gear to walk side by side.<br />As we looked the animal started to look different the body was fuller the color was a golden color not the grayish color the deer have at that time of the year. The animal spotted us and it crouched down for a second then bolted into the woods. The one thing that sticks out in my mind was the tail long and bushy. The animal leaped just very different than a deer.<br /><br />I wished I had my camera out but had my bow in hand.<br /><br />I asked the owner of the cabins we were staying in about the sighting. He stated that there were some cougar sightings a year or so ago but nothing recent.<br /><br />I am 48 years old and have been hunting from the age of 13.<br /><br />I know what i saw and it was not a deer.<br /><br />I would be more than happy to discuss this with anyone.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Kelly Dickinson tag:wildnewjersey.tv,2010-03-12:2906125 Carolyn Foote Edelmann http://www.packetinsider.com/blog/nature 2010-03-13T01:34:36Z 2010-03-13T01:34:36Z Thrilled to see eagles of the Maurice, since planned journey to winter Eagle Festival (CMBO folks) was cancelled by major snow, and Littoral Society tour of Bear Swamp (only active eagle nest during the dire years) was cancelled by high water. <br /><br />You give me great delight, knowing that those majestic eagles and stirring osprey still sail above one of my all-time favorite rivers. <br /><br />Keep New Jersey Green - especially Salem and Cumberland Counties!<br /><br />Carolyn Foote Edelmann, Princeton tag:wildnewjersey.tv,2010-03-12:2905632 Kathy Salisbury http://www.npsnj.org 2010-03-12T21:23:14Z 2010-03-12T21:23:14Z Thank You for posting the information about our annual meeting!<br />Kathy Salisbury<br />President, <br />Native Plant Society of New Jersey tag:wildnewjersey.tv,2010-02-25:2860506 Rich Wolfert http://www.njnaturenotes.com 2010-02-25T21:18:26Z 2010-02-25T21:18:26Z Thanks so much for the coverage and the compliment. We in East Brunswick who rallied the troops greatly appreciate it. <br /><br />Barring additional submissions, Egg Harbor Township IS ahead with the species count…66 vs. 62 for East Brunswick. However, East Brunswick led the state in the number of submissions (again, barring late submissions) with 62. We had lots of folks around the town submit sightings from backyards to the diverse habitats we have here. <br /><br />This is the first time we led the state in submissions. And, we were truly surprised at our total of 62 species, which included for the first time, American Pipit. <br /><br />Photos can been seen on the Sightings & Reports page at: <a href="http://www.njnaturenotes.com">www.njnaturenotes.com</a>. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Rich Wolfert tag:wildnewjersey.tv,2010-02-23:2853755 david westray 2010-02-23T14:36:38Z 2010-02-23T14:36:38Z saw the falcon yesterday in my yard at 145 hutton st.,jersy city.<br />it was standing on the side of my goldfish pond checking out the fish.<br />he was there the day before also. hoping to get a photo of it. tag:wildnewjersey.tv,2010-02-17:2835786 Photo Editing http://www.fotoeditors.com 2010-02-17T09:26:28Z 2010-02-17T09:26:28Z Lovely pictures, awesome these are looking so interesting but professional and artistic pics. tag:wildnewjersey.tv,2010-02-12:2822172 Pete Tasser 2010-02-13T01:47:36Z 2010-02-13T01:47:36Z The hybrid cranes appear to be part Sandhill Crane, and part Common Crane. Amazing to have this in NJ! tag:wildnewjersey.tv,2010-02-12:2822167 phil http://wildnewjersey.tv/2009/01/26/mink-sighting-at-barnegat-light.aspx 2010-02-13T01:45:33Z 2010-02-13T01:45:33Z I saw a mink near the Boonton Reservoir this evening on the side of the road in the snow... Thought it may have been a fisher, but by comparing the to animals photos, it was definitely a mink. tag:wildnewjersey.tv,2010-02-11:2816828 Carol Vinzant http://animaltourism.com 2010-02-11T16:57:45Z 2010-02-11T16:57:45Z Turns out workers did a disservice to the seal. He just wanted to rest and they pushed him into the wrong body of water.<br /><br /><a href="http://animaltourism.blogspot.com/2010/02/jersey-town-illegally-pushs-tired-lost.html">http://animaltourism.blogspot.com/2010/02/jersey-town-illegally-pushs-tired-lost.html</a> tag:wildnewjersey.tv,2010-01-29:2768067 Carol Vinzant http://www.animaltourism.com 2010-01-29T13:24:01Z 2010-01-29T13:24:01Z Neat picture.
