It's a moth!

Working in the rustic mountains of NJ, you tend to see a lot of wildlife not typically associated with the “Garden State.”  And, certainly, Chester, NJ is not terribly exotic by wildlife standards.  However, I thought it would be interesting to share the list of critters seen that are/were more interesting than others.

As we’re in the foothills of the Appalachians, one would expect to see black bear…which, since I’ve worked here, two have decided to walk through our parking lot.  Also, we’ve seen red fox, coyotes, ground hogs, squirrels, chipmonks, etc.  The usual suspects.  Here’s a couple of some of the more interesting things…feel free to look them up.

Ruby Crowned Kinglet

Green Throated Black Warbler

Rosy Maple Moth

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

Red-breasted Nuthatch (hubba hubba)

Gray Tree Frog

Amazingly, the two above pictures were taken with the iPhone.  Cool, eh?  Amazing what you find when you look!
