    I wanted to go somewhere closeby so I targeted a local preserve where spotted sals are present... but,
    it was closed for another deer hunt. So I went to another park and explored some wetlands a little further.

    Found 17 two lined... but only vouchered 12




    6 Redbacks


    Flipped this little green frog.

    Counted 8 Northern Red Salamanders but failed to get shots of the smallest larvae.
    Managed to wrangle this big one.

    Still had thingies.

    Got one shot of one in the water...

    Fortunate enough to find 3 adults too.

    An older one.

    A large one...

    And a really vivid young adult.

    I was searching the inside of a springhouse for red larvae when I spotted this peering from the water and under the wall...

    It slinked backwards back underwater, into the wall. weird.

    Other shots

    En situ plug for Jason.

  2. Nice Shirt ;-) . Good stuff Kyle. Wish I was able to get out. Was to worried about finding my way to where I was going, So I did not want to get to lost. Spotted some nice habitat for next year though.

    Two of three springhouses I know of have produced reds... compiling a list of springhouses to visit this winter. Herping never stops! .... ok, if its really really cold I wont go out, but still, fun stuff.
    Will let you know when I do the spring house tour... also, going back up to place another board line.
