Spring Salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus) winter thaw

Image of Gyrinophilus Cope 1869

Description:

January 30 is pretty much dead of winter around Western New York state here in the U. S., but nonetheless after 2 days of 50 degree temperatures and rain, it was pretty easy to find Spring Salamanders creekside this afternoon. Flipping a few surface stones is all it took to see what I've been missing since October!
