.....at the drift fence. Yesterday was a gorgeous clear day so no marbleds moving last night. Did get to go release some from the other day. In the above picture the salamanders on the left, in the plastic bin, have just had their photos taken and been measured. Then on the right is immediately post release. It’s a blast to release them, after clearing a little leaf litter away we scatter a handful on the ground and watch them scurry. I tried to take the photo before they got under the leaves, but they were too fast! Most of the ones above on the right look headless! Toss the leaves back over them and you can’t even tell they’re there. Seeing that disappearing act always reminds me how much can be around us in the woods that we never see. There was a little rain today but none in the forecast for tonight so probably only a few salamanders in the morning---on the plus side there’s no need to get there at the crack of dawn!
