A visit to the private little nature Sanctuary in Tenafly, New Jersey. The beetles and spider are new species for me.

This young fox is so used to people in the refuge it walked right up to us.

Chincoteague June 1

Sherry Felix7 Comments

At dawn we went to the bridge leading to Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. We were reward with a sighting of a Clapper Rail. After breakfast we drove to the refuge and saw lots of wildlife. There are many deer and ticks. I got 4 tick bites during the trip. I spotted one on our car window trying to get in! And there are mosquitoes in multitudes. We saw Chincoteague ponies known as the Assateague horses. Delmarva fox squirrels are only found in that area.
