  1. Last night we saw:
    -1 northern spring salamander
    -3 four-toed salamanders
    -a couple bull frogs
    -a few green frogs
    -dozens of spotted salamanders
    -lots of wood frogs
    -so many spring peepers (one shown in image)

    I also didn't realize (or forgot) spring salamanders can stay in a larval stage with external gills for 4 years, so that was a confusing find.
