30 October 2018 on Rough-Skinned Newt, salamanders, Species Account, Roy's Redwoods

Rough-Skinned Newt - Taricha granulosa

________

Date: 25 October 2018

Location: Redwood forest in the alluvial flat, just south of Meadow Trail near the "Crossroads Log Pile."

Notes: First newt of the rainy season is a small male, about 4.5 inches / 11.5 cm total length. Skittish, too - I only managed one photo before he disappeared under the log.

Date: 26 October 2018

Location: Redwood forest in the alluvial flat, just south of Meadow Trail near the "Crossroads Log Pile."

Notes: Exact same location as yesterday; I believe this is the same newt. Scurried away under the same log.
