Took a short ride down to Washington County today, where I went last week with my daughter.

Target today was Queens and Salamanders. No real luck ext for a few common dusky salamanders and a queen that got away before I could get a photo.

1st find was this Garter along the edge of the creek. This one had an injury on his tail. Probably the reason he was so grumpy.

New Queen Spot

Time – 11am – 1pm
Temps – 68-75f
Sky – Partly Cloudy to somewhat clear.

Today I desided to take my daughter out to a new spot I have wanted to try. Was a good day and neither of us had been to this spot yet so I though it would be fun to do some creek walking and see what we could find. I heard the place was good for Salamanders but we didnt turn over a single one.
