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!

Juvenile from Michigan.This species--often described as a sphagnum specialist--lays eggs just outside of the water in ephemeral wetlands. Larvae hatch, squirm into the water, then experience one of the shortest larval periods of any salamander before metamorphosing. Still, this young individual was one of last year's youngins.
