Eastern Red-backed Salamander
Plethodon cinereus
43.5753, -70.2252
Field Notes
Description:
It didn't run away at all, perhaps because it was cold out
Habitat:
Under a medium-sized stick in a wet, marshy area next to a lake.
Notes:
This is the first time I have photographed a salamander, and only my second time finding one in the wild. I didn't actually touch it, but I put my finger next to it for size.
