When conditions are promising for salamander and frog migrations East Burnswick closes a section of Beekman Road to vehicular traffic, so as to prevent slaughter by automobile.
This night there were over thirty people out on a chilly rainy school night. All with flashlights walking up and down the road looking for the critter on the sign, the Spotted Salamander.
We did not see any. The was a report of one, found in the middle of the road, but it finished crossing by the time we arrived at the spot.
So we made due with two frogs.
This Spring Peeper, spotted by our friend Bernie.
And what I think is a Green Frog, found by a young lady whose name I do not know.

While the lack of salamanders, and herps in general, was disappointing. It was nice to get out and meet up with the aforementioned Bernie as well as our friend Barb (of Spadefoot Toad fame).
