Here's a photo recap of January - June, presented without commentary (happy to offer more, nonlocale-specific, info as requested). I've spent time in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi, with the vast majority of my finds coming in Alabama.

Awesome stuff! I especially love the salamander diversity (the Aneides is especially cool) and the mole king.
Re: 2016 First Half Review: Herping the Southeast
Very nice work, thank you for sharing it. The marbled salamander really caught my eye, a robust beast indeed.
Love the two cottonmouths on the log, tell us more about the shot if you will, how did it come to pass?

Nice finds, Adam! I'm slightly jealous of your Scarlet King and all of your Timbers

You've kept busy. Nice job on all counts. I really like the look of the last Coppers.

Thanks! In recent years, salamanders may have supplanted snakes as my favorites targets.AZherper wrote:Awesome stuff! I especially love the salamander diversity (the Aneides is especially cool) and the mole king.
Thanks, Vic. That's an situ shot in a tupelo swamp. I was standing in ankle deep water, hand-holding my camera with the zoom lens fully extended to get the shot without spooking them. Whenever I visit that area, I'll find at least 5-6 cottonmouths.VICtort wrote:Very nice work, thank you for sharing it. The marbled salamander really caught my eye, a robust beast indeed.

It's been a good year for timber rattlesnakes, for sure. I hadn't seen a scarlet kingsnake in 4 years, so I was really happy to get that one--and it was within an hour of my house.dwakefield wrote:Nice finds, Adam! I'm slightly jealous of your Scarlet King and all of your Timbers
Thanks, Tim. It's been a pretty productive year so far. Copperheads are so common in these parts that it's easy to forget how attractive they can be.Tim Borski wrote:You've kept busy. Nice job on all counts. I really like the look of the last Coppers.

Very nice! I especially like the spring salamander larva.
