Many-ribbed Salamander (Eurycea multiplicata)Observer
treeder86Description
Found in a stream. Had a hard time determining if this individual only had 4 toes, or if the 5th toe was just really small. I'm leaning toward E. multiplicata over E. quadridigitata, but other opinions are appreciated.

Found several egg masses in a pond we came across during our hike. Nearly all of the eggs still had developing embryos, unlike the pond we found the previous day where nearly all of the eggs had already hatched (http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/5419476)

American Water Frogs (Genus Lithobates)Observer
treeder86Description
We came across an area during one of our hikes where it looked like a section of hillside caved in, creating a pond.
Saw a few of these egg masses in the pond. I'm not great when it comes to identifying anuran egg masses, but I suspect some kind of Lithobates. Plus, I saw a few adult pickerel frogs swimming in and out of the leaves.

We came across an area during one of our hikes where it looked like a section of hillside caved in, creating a pond.
The pond was full of anuran larvae. It was difficult to get a good look, and identifying anruan larvae is at the lower end of my ID skill set...
