February 17th salamander activity

[matt ignoffo]

Not too much, but they were active. This was the earliest I have seen them.

These pics were through a manhole cover, so sorry about the quality. We did not see any movement on the ground, just below. They were very active.




This next one was massive...really.




The ground was still mostly frozen, this was next to the pond.

It's actually an OK quality marsh. A suburban elementary school sits in the "upland"...The parking lot of which has sewers which probably drain the parking lot into the marsh. This is just a quarter mile from my home.

Is that a bunch of Blue Spotteds and a lone Tiger? Very interesting, indeed.
Thanks for sharing,
