The weather was perfect, as long as you were a salamander. An amazing sight to see - the road crawling, a warm foggy night, with rain coming down in early march. I received a tip earlier in the day that conditions might be right. They were. The
DEC site on amphibian migrations is a great place to start. You are also able to print out the paperwork for your own data collection to send in, which we did...

Here is a wildlife biologist in the field helping count and move migrating salamanders. Identified over 35 Spotted and a dozen of Jefferson salamanders.

Spent an hour on rt. 36 - west hollow road - just above the old ski valley- counting and helping salamanders cross the road.
