   Figured Id set up some early goals for the new year:

   1. Locate the Bucks County copperhead den with Kyle.
   2. Confirm at least 5 new TR dens for the fish n boat commission.
   3. Get a good photo of a bog turtle, spotted turtle, coal skink, gray treefrog, eastern spadefoot, spring salamander, four-toed salamander, and smooth and rough green snakes (Have found all, and have photos of some, but not many and not of great quality).
   4. Get out with Jason and find a queen snake.
   5. Find one reliable hognose area (they are generally so random!)
   6. Find a healthy population of ribbon snakes.
   7. Confirm the McCoy Wyoming County copperhead population.
   8. Find the marbled salamanders in Bucks County with Kyle.

   And finally, keep my new ACL healthy for the whole year!

   Locate the Bucks County copperhead den with Kyle.

   
   We will be successful!
   Confirm at least 5 new TR dens for the fish n boat commission.
   

   3. Get a good photo of a bog turtle, spotted turtle, coal skink, gray treefrog, eastern spadefoot, spring salamander, four-toed salamander, and smooth and rough green snakes (Have found all, and have photos of some, but not many and not of great quality).

   I can help with the gray trees and the smooth greens. If you go after PA rough greens, count me in I will be going after PA smooth earths at the same time.

   Get out with Jason and find a queen snake.

   
   I can help with queens on this side of the state, but if you'd rather travel...

   Find one reliable hognose area (they are generally so random!)

   
   I know of a spot, but it's like a Zoo... I would like to find a Bucks County Hog.

   Find a healthy population of ribbon snakes.

   
   Another good goal... I have not found one in Bucks co in a long time... but have some ideas.

   Find the marbled salamanders in Bucks County with Kyle.

   Another needle we need to find in this haystack.

   I know of the chester queen snake pop...maybe on a voyage out to VF we hit mount misery and then go check along the creek for queens!

   I used to find 1-2 ribbons a year at my parents in bucks, but not since 2003 have i found one. Gonna set up some board lines where i used to find them in february to see if i can get some that way. Theres a spot up in monroe county still where we find 5-10 ribbons on every outing in the months of april and may. We also find alot of four-toed sallys in this same vicinity.

   Will have to try to do that at some point. Would love to get out there for a few species.

    I'm working on photographing all species found in my home county. I think I may have underestimated how long this project would take. :-)

    Anyone heading to or interested in heading to NE PA let me know.
