>>With temperatures hitting the mid-60s today, I decided to go outside and take a look around.
You had better luck than I did, Tim (though I've herped with you before and I know you work at it harder than I do, too--that's a compliment). It was mid-60s yesterday, and I went to a creek where i've only twice found streamside salamanders (if that's the ambystoma here in northern kentucky). Anyway, no sallies, no eggs under rocks. In the two years where i saw them, there was snow on the ground, maybe even some ice in the creek, not a warm day like yesterday, but I think it was about this time of year. Any idea whether it's the timing that's the problem? It's a fairly disturbed habitat, too, so they may simply be gone...
