An example of NJ's diversity....
Though not a photo of Lilo on her way to a hearing, these shots, taken this morning, reveal an example of NJ's diverse palette of wildlife found across the state from High Point to Cape May.
They are different than us and they are everywhere.
Enjoy the diversity NJ has to offer!

ground level fox
I was in a portable tree stand about 15' above the fox.
Ground level shots are nicer but so hard to get.
Here is one of a fox I called in to 10 steps away on a very foggy December morning. One shot and he was gone. I was wearing something called a ghillie suit which is what you see military snipers wear. Calling in fox up close and spooking it, is giving that animal an education about predator or hand calls.
A fox is a nose attached to a life support system. When you get within 10 steps of a wild critter you're on borrowed time. The slightest wiff of scent, movement or sound and they are gone.
Most wildlife photos are taken with large/expensive lens and at a distance. Some are done with captive animals or human acclimated critters. A point of contention among wildlife photographers.
Not having a big expensive lens One has to make do.
The fox above went down the almost vertical river bank onto exposed tree roots to drink from the river. Unfortunately there were too many branches in the way to get that shot. From above the reflection of the fox in the water would have been a winner.
