The Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is divided into two parts -
the western half is the "Management Area" wherein off-road travel is
prohibited without a permit, while the eastern half is
the "Wilderness Area" wherein foot travel is permitted. The
abandoned section of White Bridge Road gives excellent foot access in
that eastern part. I heard CRICKET FROGS in the Wilderness Area just
a week ago when I was looking for Great Egrets. This Cricket Frog
colony is beneath an active Great Blue Heron rookery.
Good recording,
Randy
