F.Y.I. - Jobs in Guam typically offer much more pay than those in the States.

I guess I'm a jaded Norteno when it comes to sallies(we've tons up here). A fruitless hour of sallie hunting would send a lesser man packing'(me). Just giving you props for what I consider persistence.

Re: Lifer Arboreal Salamander
Robnic - Awesome to find your target species; especially when persistence was required
As per usual, your photos rock. That last arboreal shot belongs in a frame
Now you know where to go New Year's Eve for some county records

Brian - Are the current taxonomic designations a result of recent genetic tests?
Or is it simply 'dumbassery'. Is that a word?
