Northwestern salamander

In the dark in dirt, in a potato garden. Also found hiding under wood. Temperate coastal rain forest. Reading about its presumed habitat needs, it seems relevant to add to this: the forest it was found in is a mixed woods, naturally occurring second growth nearing old growth. The Sitka spruce on it range up to 25 ft. in circumference. It was selectively logged for Douglas fir and Western hemlock about 50 years ago (maybe 50% cut); a hot forest fire came through in 1840, and perhaps again in the 1880's or so, killing the cedar and leaving them standing, providing spotted owl habitat (spotted owls have been heard there). The climax forest (after the ancient spruces die) there is Western red cedar, and they once grew there, but they are currently not. It is about 3 miles as the crow flies from the Pacific Ocean, at an altitude of 500 feet.
