Flipped under a rock within a small stream. Poor photo quality, but overall build, color pattern, and keeled tail seemed consistent with Northern Dusky, which was encountered mere feet away in the same microhabitat
Flipped under a rock at the edge of a stream. Found in the immediate vicinity of several other Northern Duskies, with which it appeared largely consistent in size, structure, and color. I suspect that the tapered appearance of the tail tip is an artifact of the angle, photo quality, and wet mud
Flipped under a rock at the edge of a stream, closely associated with a Two-lined Salamander. Tail appeared laterally compressed and somewhat keeled in life, more closely approaching the impression in the third photo rather than the first two in-hand photos, where the tail is drooping over the finger and partly obscured
Shindagin Hollow State Forest, NY.
Found in a tree nursery hole on a cold rainy day.
Second fully adult Spotted Salamander I've seen this fall.
