The Salamander Search

Today me and my friend Shane and his little sister Maya found 54 red back salamanders!!! I also discovered the way to tell apart males and females (the males are just blueish black and the females are the same except for the reddish line down its back) We found mostly all of them on Shane's properdy but we found a few on his next door nabrs properdy .I think one of the collest things we found were the salamander eggs we found them under some of the rocks we trnd over and some times we found them almost glued too the bottom of rocks.

Night of the Spotted Salamanders

yesterday night me my mom and my friends family went to see the annual spotted salamander mating event. when we started the hike there were not any. But in a few minits we were finding them everywhar and the best part was the spring peepers. they were as lowed as me and my two brothers screming as lowed as we can at the same time!!!!!!! (and i've got to say were prity lowed)And at the pond there were spring peepers peeping and salamanders mating when we left the pond all we found were wood frogs, spring peepers and salamanders.

This Sunday me and my family built an iglu. First I dug a hole. Then me Luke and Sabascin helped us build the base. and the last step i did with my mom it was building the top of the iglue. Now the iglue is finished and five people can fit in it.
