First Warm Spring Rain, April 2011

[Sean Brady]

A few weeks ago, during the first warm spring rain, I drove to this road nearby that is surrounded by swamp and is infamous for salamanders crossing looking to mate. I saw A. maculatum, A. laterale, A. jeffersonianum, and N. v. viridescens

Good timing! I always get a thrill watching these guys cross the road. I missed "Big Night" here this year - I was out and about in the southern states for most of the spring.
