Had a GRRREAT tiger #salamander #fieldwork day! We found >30 egg masses across 2 ponds.
Must have been my lucky 🍀 new #Minnesota hat 😉 (bought it at a gas station this morning 😂)

Spent yesterday afternoon with an undergrad researcher (Alex) hoping to find breeding blue-spotted #salamanders
Here's one of the ponds where we've got traps out. 🤞🤞🤞
Didn't see any sally activity, but other #amphibians were active!

The three ponds we are trapping for #salamanders had *deafening* choruses of boreal chorus frogs (Pseudacris maculata).
Here's male chorus #frog . You can't see it in the pic, but the skin of their throats turns yellow when they've been calling.

Alex's first wood #frog catch of the season!
Wood frog males were calling while supported by submerged, dead grasses in another pond we checked for #salamanders .
