Since last time
Unfortunately, I haven't made much time to herp (let alone inhabit this forum) after spending the 2016 summer in Costa Rica. Here I'll post what little I have seen since I've been back stateside.

As some of you guys know, I've been working in Costa Rica since May and won't return to my home in Georgia until the beginning of August. It's torrentially raining at the moment, so I suppose I'll be productive and throw up some photos I've been sitting on. Southern Red Salamander Pseudotriton r. vi...

Howdy, herpers. I'm back for the second installment of my ternary field report of 2015. Unfortunately, this summer was exceptionally busy and I wasn't able to herp as much as I would have liked (not sure that's even possible).

Using your net to dredge aquatic vegetation can yield sirens, amphiuma, Farancia, Seminatrix, and an assortment of amphibian larvae. Try weedy ponds and backwaters.

Thanks, all! A DSLR makes a huge difference compared to point and shoot cameras. A macro lens or extension tubes also seem to be important. I have heard good things about Sigma's 105mm and Tamron's 90mm. There is also a 150mm worth looking at, if you have the $$. Canon also makes a 100mm macro lens ...

Definitely Eurycea. I've never seen larval wilderae but it looks a heck of a lot like the hundreds of larval cirrigera I've caught so therefore I'd feel confident in recording that as E. wilderae.

ANF in April sounds good. I'm in west central GA but ANF seems like a good central location for most of us. But, for the sake of discussion, some GA locatons that I've had on my radar are the Chattahoochee NF, Cohutta Wilderness, and the Altamaha River Basin (lots of WMAs).
