Notes
Flipped under a log in same area where many slender salamanders had been found 1.5 years earlier. Best guess from previous finds was that the slenders were B. gavilanensis, but area is within the extreme SE limit of B. attenuatus range, so ID is not confident. I was only able to find this juvenile in a quick 10 minute search this time, so despite a better macro-shooting camera the ID was still difficult.
