Wonderful outing you had!

I have never seen, or heard of the Storeria occipitomaculata, Redbelly snake. Beautiful snake. Question for you, how tough was it to capture the lovely critter in Pix #8, and was it slippery after getting in the water?
Again, excellent addition to this thread.

Excellent shots as always Lelle. I really like all the red on that Bufo americanus. Are they always that red?

Indeed, however why is it called 'Redsided' garter snake?

From last night

Bufo americanus, american toad



Another coloration



Juvenile



Rana sylvatica, wood frog. These frogs can acctually be frozen and thawed up again - with no healthproblems!



Hyla versicolor, grey tree frog. They come in two colorforms, grey and green. A favorite among the frogs here!



Ambystoma tigrinum, tigersalamander. Really neat looking amphibians!





A unidentified wolfspider

Do Rattlesnakes always give you chance to stop and smile at the camera? :)

As you can see its a smaller rattler that arent that close to my foot, and they dont lounge out and bite. They usually are very reluctant to bite.
