The annual March-April spotted salamander migration across Beekman Road in East Brunswick is on again. Thursday’s rain made for a heavy migration at this local mini-Serengeti event. Find out how and when you, your raincoat, your flashlight, and your kids can come out on certain nights (depending on predicted rains) to see them (plus assorted tree frogs, etc.) by going to www.njnaturenotes.com .

The strange critter of the canine family that has been seen around South Adelaide in Highland Park, that looks like a fox or coyote but has too-thin a tail, and that was photographed by Environmental Commission chair Mike Rosenberg, has now been identified. It is a fox with the mange. Its bushy tail hairs fell out.
