Salamander
Signs of Spring!!
The Wood Frogs and Salamanders in Glen Meal are starting to lay their eggs in the vernal pools!
Salamander eggs can be distinguished from the wood frog eggs because of the jelly-like membrane surrounding each embryo. The dark black embryo is typically larger in Salamander eggs, the whole clump is surrounded by another clear thick membrane. As the season progresses, algae will typically cover up the eggs.
Red Eft on Trail
A rainy day for hiking was the perfect time to see this little amphibian crossing the trail, one of many.
