Blue spotted salamander (Ambystoma laterale)
I had taken a few of the kids to the back of the property to see what the electric company was doing. There was a lot of heavy machinery back there, so we decided to flip some logs. My son found the salamander, and we decided to take him to a different location because of all of the work going on by the power lines. I would have to imagine a lot of sallies are getting smashed and their homes uprooted by the work back there, but what can you do? Hopefully we can get a few more from that location and move them to safer areas.
8 species so far (7 on property).
