A pickerel frog was hanging out in our backyard recently. The wet May and June created a nice muddy habitat underneath our deck.

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009Last weekend, I found a black and white salamander underneath a rock when planting a cedar tree that my dad gave me. I left the rock they way I found it.
I identified the salamander as a slimy salamander using a field guide entitled Amphibians & Reptiles of the Carolinas & Virginia. I highly recommend this field guide.
