Thought I'd share some of my finds while visiting a spring-fed pool about a mile or so up a ridge near my family's cabin. I first discovered the pool a little over a year ago, and have visited it a couple of times this year and documented the growth of the local tiger salamanders.
June 2022- many 1 inch larvae (typical hatching period for the locale is early May) and a few adult males
August 2022- 3-4 inch juveniles. All appeared healthy.
*Salamanders were caught using a dip net, photographed, and returned.
