Either a seal salamander or a northern dusky or spotted dusky. This one looked more like a seal salamander in person, but the photos look more like a spotted salamander.

Is it melanistic Plethodon vehiculum or Plethodon dunnii? And how can you tell without the stripe?

I have reason to believe this is a unisexual mole salamander, by it's head shape, size, and limited blue spotting. Also this is a lifer!

Drama. These guys all normally get along pretty well, but here a squirrel decided to start something and nearly got kicked in the head as reward. Moments later they were back to munching sunflower seeds side-by-side again.

Just an amazing chorus of frogs on this warm evening after a day of rain. Maybe hundreds? Hard to say.
