Re: Snakes in the Chiricahua mountains

One more thing. When I went we were based in the Southwestern Research Station and we hiked and cruised down into NM and also very close to the border, and we didn't have any problems. To be safe, I would avoid night hiking or camping nearer to the border, but I have friends that do it and besides t...

Re: Snakes in the Chiricahua mountains

Not sure what the other guys will say but I was in the Chiricahuas in September a couple years ago following a wet spell and the roads were literally filled with amphibians. We must have seen thousands of toads on the road, it was almost impossible not to hit them at some points. We saw atrox and mo...

Re: Massive sea turtle deaths in Florida following fireworks

What a disaster. Seems a little typical of America to do something very ill-planned like this, and if anyone with knowledge of the turtles was present in planning, this shouldn't have happened.

Is it just a late birth from last year that hasn't grown much? ...
