I haven't posted yet so here you go. Just got a new camera as I destroyed my old one the night I went out for spring migration. The spotted salamander shot was the last that camera took. Really loving the new camera.
Gf with her first wood turtle.

Haha well I yanked it out of the bank for her. But she did find her first spotted after I got skunked all day, and I mean I searched all day. He was under a little bridge with a plank missing so he could hide, yet still get sun. I didn't believe her and shes like will you get the hell over here lol.

Re: March for me
Lol I snagged them all in one basking spot. They were very sluggish as it was March 1. The only way to grab 4 at once now would be digging through the leaves/etc. They get so damn skittish so fast.

Re: March for me
That one was from early March in Virginia and they were all hidden in the streams still. I'd expect them to start moving in the next 2 weeks hopefully. It was really really cold pulling them out lol.
Re: March for me
Nice finds. Woods and spotties usually do not show up in VT until a little into April. I suspect this year they will be delayed a week or two.
