Well, went out the other night to see what was moving now that spring has finally arrived in upstate NY. Spotted salamanders were moving in decent numbers. Found a MONSTER female that measured out at 9" long! A couple of jefferson salamanders were out in localized areas. Where you find them, you find them in small numbers. Found 1 Gyrinophilus as well. No P. ruber, which I normally find in decent numbers, but perhaps it's early. Rains and temps here have been all over the place and streams are presently full (or over-filled). Found several P. cinereus and a single E. bislineata. Hemidactylum were found in good numbers where they are found. Toads, frog and peepers were frequent in both 2 and 3 dimensions. Thankfully not too much caudate roadkill. No P. glutinosis or E. longicaudata seen yet. If anyone has a scientific interest in any of these species, please feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to talk with you about them. (how many I see, what type of habitat, temps, etc.) Please note I did not mention I kept any,(that's NOYB) so spare me the WC/CB lecture. DO NOT ask me to SELL you any! That's not how I roll...
