Hey everyone,
I thought i would share some of my best photos and best looking animals of what i have found so far in this years migration.
Its been a great year, especially for Taricha granulosa, so far i have found 31, and there should be at a week or so left. I have also found around a dozen Ambystoma gracile, and one adult male Ambystoma macrodactylum macrodactylum.
1. First T. granulosa of the year, a female.
2. A very nice male T. granulosa, with a particularly long tail.
3. A nice male A. gracile.
4. The one male A. macrodactylum macrodactylum i found, in its breeding habitat.
5. A female T. granulosa
6. Happy Valentines Day! ( newt heart ).
7. Two adult female T. granulosa.
All of these were found either during or after rain, and in all cases except the A. m. macrodactylum they were found crossing a road. Temperatures were on average probably around 50-52 F. The first migrating amphibian, the female T. granulosa, was found Janurary 22nd, and the last two photos were taken today.
