We're talking South Jersey. I approached it as it was clammering up a tree. I followed the sound to investigate, and saw this spikey critter with big, curled claws and a little head trying his best to climb away from me. Watched him for a good ten minutes, but he refused to come down. Truly a treat to see this guy all the way down here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654020634443647939.post-1708402892754084242010-11-26T21:19:23.243-05:002010-11-26T21:19:23.243-05:00My wife and I saw our first live porcupine in New ...My wife and I saw our first live porcupine in New Jersey on Thanksgiving Day around noon. It was on Blue Mountain Lakes Road which is just north of Millbrook Village at the Delaware Water Gap. To our surprise it started to climb a tree. After it got about 15 feet up, it suddenly fell, hitting the ground with a loud thud and staggered away.NJHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352881332885499068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654020634443647939.post-33514240016176739182010-04-27T20:07:30.748-05:002010-04-27T20:07:30.748-05:00WOW!
