Marbled Salamander Breeding

Chance and I decided to hike a new trail today and we found a vernal pool with 15 marbled salamanders, many with eggs.  We were amazed to find so many so early and really weren't looking that hard to find them, I can only imagine how many we must have passed by.  We also saw two seemingly gravid Chorus frogs, not a bad day at all!
