#vernalpools — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Vernal pools are crucial to many critters! Also very cool to find one if you are just out walking.
