Last night we saw:
-1 northern spring salamander
-3 four-toed salamanders
-a couple bull frogs
-a few green frogs
-dozens of spotted salamanders
-lots of wood frogs
-so many spring peepers (one shown in image)
I also didn't realize (or forgot) spring salamanders can stay in a larval stage with external gills for 4 years, so that was a confusing find.

@chiroptera@ecoevo.social There's a really cool graphic novel called Moistly Harmless: How to appreciate newts and salamanders by Ethan Kocak

@chiroptera@ecoevo.social How many toes do salamanders have when they're not four-toed?
