- As it got darker, we turned on our flashlights and started to look at the bottom of the pond.
- Hey – did you see something move there? We started to see occassional stirrings in the leaves on the pond bottom.
- Aha! Yellow-spotted salamanders! We started seeing them in the crevices along the edge of the pond, and on and under the leaf debris.
- Neat-o! We started seeing more and more salamanders.
- Wow – there’s a big one! These salamanders were about the length of hot dogs! It was very cool to be so close, and to see them swimming around.
- The salamanders were great, but we also happened upon a Spring Peeper, see here after being placed on a birch tree.
