Cool find! I miss seeing these. I saw them every year when I lived in New Hampshire. Sometimes called Eastern Newt or Eastern Red-spotted Newt. This is the terrestrial juvenile stage and it is sometimes called the Red Eft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_newt

That is the juvenile phase of a spotted newt
