Notes

14 Marbled Salamanders, 12 adult and 2 sub adults, were found under wood cover objects within dry vernal pools. I searched only 4 of the dry pools in the area and opted to call it quits for the day.

A nice species to come across. Looks like you hit the jackpot to. I have a few spots in SC that produce a good many at a time.
