Earlier in the week it began to get warmer and the snow around the amphibian breeding pools began to melt.


Eventually the daytime temperatures hit the upper sixties and today, although cooler, it began to rain.
There were many amphibian fans out to see the annual migration.


Spring Peepers could be heard calling off in the distance, though a few, like this one, were crossing the road.
Most Spring Peepers have an "X" mark on their back - this one was a variation on that theme.


The clucking of Wood Frogs could also be heard if you listened closely.
The few that were crossing the street had exceptional coloration.


The Jefferson's is the less common of the two salamanders in the area, it was a welcome find.
This individual had quite a bit of blue flecking.



The temperatures were in the low 40s, but with steady rain coming down, it was an irresistable lure to Spotted Salamanders.



What a great way to kick off the 2010 herping season!
