Do you reseed each year? Or do you allow a level of volunteer plants and succession? Also, do you alternate your plantings and if so what is your schedule/rotation? Thanks, rich

And I thought NJ was the only state filled with demented politicos. I rest easy knowing we have a twin up north....

Jode, Appreciate the PDF link on railbird hunting. Pete Dunne is a fantastic author. For folks who've experienced the Delaware Bayshore, he has a short book called "Bayshore Summer" and will tickle your memories and imagination. For those who've not visited "down Jersey", this will give you a...

Just this am had an eagle dive bomb a bull honker! I didnt notice its approach because from a distance I wrote it off as a Turkey Vulture. But as it passed my lizard brain realized this is much bigger than a TuVu and as it plunged at the honker, I saw that it was a juvie eagle. I guess something...

Jode, Terrific tale! Started to reread Pete Dunne's "Bayshore Summer" this week. Not sure if subliminally you steered me that way or just serendiptious. I think you would very much enjoy the book (it is short), and is his view of the Bayshore from Dennis Twp (my area) to the Greenwich area...

Interesting that ducks will jump up from eagles. I saw yrs ago at Forysthe NWR the opposite reaction to aerial predator. Hundreds of GWT were feeding in the impoundments while a peregrine was dive bombing the ducks trying to get them to take flite. Many attempts no joy for the falcon until a...

First, I want to apologize to OP for a thread hijack. I saw Sandford and paint, didnt read further, and jumped to boat, mostly because of the south bay spa thread which I've been following. Yes, going to grass it up. Eventually, grass blows off, holes open etc and seems like having a base more...

Was going to PM on same topic, but since it is a new thread here goes. I bought a used roy boat year and it was painted the OD green. Paint is beginning to flake and after this season, I am going to repaint. My thought was to go with a base of darker brown, overlay with a pattern of lighter...

Not sure if link will work, but a short and interesting view from someone closer to the situation. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/05/opinion/in-zimbabwe-we-dont-cry-for-lions.html?ref=opinion&_r=1[url]

Remeber too Zimbawe is the poster child for failed states everywhere. Law is virually non existent and corruption rampant. I am specualting the the dentist paid dearly to get his "permits" and only because it was a famous lion did the government become "concerned". I am thinking the dentists...

Jode, Looks like a most excellent adventure! (and you got it in before the Bayshore Aerial Defense Force was in full strength). And for Steve birding, Cape May point state park has the CMBO hawk watch going from labor day til thanksgiving...not too mention early goose season!!!!

Jode, great picture. I wish my family had a photographic record of the changes that they witnessed. For the record, I have no skin in the game, my grandfather was last of my family to make a living on the bay as fisherman, guide (and if tales to be told, rum). So while perhaps my comments were...

As a scion of a longtime bayshore family, I'd like to pitch a few pennies in the pot. As with most complex phenomenon, I doubt the answer lies with the simple answer. Banning bait harvesting, while no doubt helpful is but one piece of the puzzle. Ruinuous degradation of the sandy bayshore...

Actually, Carl, the eastern seaboard is sinking. It is sinking in response to the ... last ice age! Well documented around the great lakes is the rise of the crustal plate in response to stress relief from melting of the Laurentian glaciers that created cape cod, long island, potholes etc. Less...
