The spotted salamanders are out in force! Earlier tonight I bummed the bio-truck and hit up the ephemeral pond at the end of breakfield to check on these guys and found them out in droves, it was like catching fish in a barrel! Unfortunately, I forgot to return my SD card to my camera meaning that I only snapped off a couple of photos, none of which are great but I've tossed two up here anyway. Since there just chillin in the pond, they should stay there for a while, we'll discuss a salamandering expedition at tomorrow night's meeting.
