Notes

Two young long-toed salamanders flipped under tarp wrapped around stakes. Found behind car wash that was built on top of existing wetlands two years ago. They were next to a man-made pond that appeared to have been built to mitigate for the filled-in wetlands, with many recently planted trees and other plants. Nesting killdeer and ducks were also seen, along with some unidentified tadpoles and the shed of a garter snake.
