What's on my mind?

More precise, #AlpineNewts

In a bucket, because we carry them to their pond across tram tracks.
Photo from last year, now they are still hibernating..

California Slender Salamander Batrachoseps attenuatus that was under a hunk of wood I moved today. I find these critters often here. They're so cuuuuute! I almost died of squee.

A teeny tiny brown salamander sitting in the crook of my finger, with only its head and upper body and big eyes visible. It's hard to tell whether it's confused and terrified, or contentedly lounging there, but probably the former. Either way, it's adorably cute.An aptly named slender salamander stretched out across my palm. It is about 5" long, half of which is tail. It looks more like a thin brown snake with four tiny legs than a salamander..

If you live in California (or not) and like nature and animals and want a fun rabbit hole to go down, visit californiaherps.com and click the picture of your favorite herp. Or find the "range map" link and scroll through the various species to see what lives in your area.

I was on the site to identify a frog I'd assumed (correctly) was a Yellow Legged frog, but took a detour into salamanders.
