Notes
Larval salamander was frightened from its hiding spot under a rock by a much larger larva that was fleeing me. Only 1.5" snout-tail. Could be D. tenebrosus or D. copei - the larger larva appeared closer to D. copei but exhibited some characteristics of both species, and an apparent D. copei was found several miles downstream.
