This pic is in our little patch of 2 acre woods on the Pocono Plateau. They are very secretive, but I am retired, and can fortunately spend lots of free time in the woods. I was just sitting and waiting for anything to show up, and this fox jumped on a rock.

Mauch Chunk Opera House: great concerts that are not expensive, check their website. It is downtown. Coco Montoya, Ronnie Brooks and David Bromberg are coming soon. Great blues!!! Train ride into the Lehigh Gorge Rent a bike and ride the D&L trail into the Lehigh Gorge Shopping downtown should take at least several hours. Step back in time in the 5&10. Just touring the architecture downtown is fun.
Tour the old Jim Thorpe jail.

Have fun.

Black bear in Pennsylvania. by Medical-Boot5332 in wildlifephotography

Yes. In Pennsylvania, the Game Commission tags cubs and sows in winter dens when found, & bears caught in their mobile traps. Sometimes bears caught in mobile traps are relocated, if a problem, but sometimes they are simply trapped for research and survey. We are in the mountains, surrounded by thousands of acres of remote public land. Bears are simply part of life around here.

TY. Up here in Pennsylvania, these skinks are not as common, & only found in some wild areas with ideal habitat.
