3 - Ambystoma jeffersonianum found today....

[Ontario_herper]

Myself and Jordan found three of these guys today in Mississauga. There is a very small strip of wooded area that Jeff H. had said these sally's could be found. Sure enough within 20 minutes we found a few. These salamanders were quite large and looked more like jeffersonianum than any others I have seen. Of course only DNA analysis could tell us exactly what they are.

We also saw a few dozen red-backed salamanders. Including a couple "lead" phase. Again, these salamanders were larger than average.

I think Jordan is going to post pictures later....?
