4/10/12
Fence Lizards before the hike!
I spy a lil Seal Salamander!
A beautiful 2 Lined Salamander
Pickerel Frog I found under a rock
I found a very very odd salamander, I have no clue what it is. Please tell me if you know!
Dusky of some sort
Red backed Salamander, had to use flash to make it look good because it was half in water.
A Yellow Mountain Dusky
Black Ring Snake
Found a pretty big Slimy salamander not anywhere near water. haha
Gross.... my hand was 2 inches from this...
Found a very small Worm Snake, i legit thought it was a worm at first.. now i understand the name
Surpisingly, I found another Slimy Salamander, again, no where near water! It was only about an inch and a half. Very small!!!
To wrap it all up I found a Skink! Great 2 days i'd say!
