Well, after being a bit more than a bit jealous of Lelle and his herping success (http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=43813), it appears that spring has finally sprung here. It has stopped hailing/snowing etc. and the sun is out. I had a half hour to kill in the North end of the city so I went walking the drainage ditches and found three young garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis). All this year's young -- likely siblings due to their proximity. Anyhow, I didn't have my camera on me so Tamara and I figured we'd go out to one of our favourite spots later in the evening and see what we could find. We found the usual compliment of bess beetles, centipedes, millipedes, snails etc. We also found a purple-rimmed carabus. Herp-wise, we found Rana sylvatica and a well-fed T.sirtalis.
Cheers,
Dave
