This observation is for the salamander in the pitcher. I was surprised to find this salamander in a Sarracenia purpurea pitcher plant. It was alive. Shortly after I took the photograph, it dove deep into the pitcher where I could not see it. Although I could've missed it, I went back to this spot a week after taking this photo and could not find the salamander.

Evidently, salamanders can be prey for pitcher plants. https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ecy.2770

A life species for me! This little squirrel was digging seeds out of the snow under the bird feeder. I've thought we might have flying squirrels here because sometimes late at night, we hear the typical sounds of red or gray squirrels racing along the outside of our log cabin walls, but likely not either of those diurnal species.
