Photographs by John H. Yates
The Center for Aquatic Sciences at Adventure Aquarium
in partnership with the New Jersey Natural Lands Trust
offered a tour of Petty's Island on November 23, 2024.
Anthony Lara organized the tour, and Robert A. Shinn narrated.

The sign photographs here were also cropped with perspective correction. Enlarging those photos
hopefully makes the signs readable but for unavoidable shadows, dirt, moss or mold.
Brief views of white-tailed deer, an eagle in flight, and turkeys were seen but unfortunately not caught in the photos.
Photos 51-53 or 57-61 were an attempt to capture photos of an eagle in flight between the trees, but it doesn't
seem to appear in either sequence, but I did see the eagle at the time.

This map will help locate what is being seen in the photographs taken from the island of its surrounding area.
