Early Spring Salamander Hunting! - Stunning Red Salamander, Jeffs, Spotted and More! 

Talk about getting right down into it... Great presentation Will !! Amphibian activist here, with a (self built) backyard frog pond in shallow woods on the property. I also installed a goldfish pond which at times can rival the frog pond with nature's activity! Early March is the time for Spotted Salamander spermatophores in the frog pond, soon followed by the "quacking" of the Wood Frogs as they court the ladies and deposit their egg masses throughout!! It truly is a sensational time of year!!

I love salamanders and other amphibians (Redbacks are my fav), but I can never find any!! My mom is a Forester and I go with her as much as I can, anywase I lover your videos!

Good stuff so many Duskys! Love the colours on those Reds.

Great video! I am looking forward to herping central nj soon. I hope everyone likes and shares your content 👍

Beautiful!

So many Salamanders! I hope to be out herping as soon as the weather permits.

Great video! I can't believe you flipped a jeff. Looks like you're having a lot of success with salamanders so far. (Wish I could say the same lol. Haven't even found a single spotted yet this year, kind of embarrassing).

What a fun day.... love it

I had these when I was younger

im love it i love the salamander

They are magnificent creatures....

Where are you I could never dream of finding that much salamanders!

For the past 3 years I have been trying to find spotted salamander when they go to the vernopls and I finally some some on there way this year and I love the video

You're so lucky to be able to find all these different species, literally all I have where I live are two lined salamanders, and nothing else. They're better than nothing, but I just wish I lived outta the city so I could find some more interesting species

I've been in Massachusetts for over 40 years, and the only ones I have ever found are red efts/newts, red-backed, and two-lined. Red-backed used to be the most common by far but I hardly ever find them anymore. Red efts are much more common than they were when I was young.

Hey young man, Another intriguing video, as anticipated. I always learn something from your films, so thanks… Lots of wriggly salamanders to be sure. One highlight of the film was not a salamander but the Pickerel frog. I think they’re under appreciated - they are quite “showy” as pattern can compensate for lack of intense color, if one has as eye for it. I live in the “high desert” in New Mexico and had always associated scorpions with hot/dry climates. But I learned from your and from Noah’s videos there are scorpions in your area; three species. Have you ever been stung, what with all your flipping and bare-handed poking around? Never miss an opportunity to hit the “like” button as every film is a winner.

Very cool. Only ever flipped a Jefferson once, in August of all times, in upper NE Pennsylvania.

You should do it live

The difference from the Southeast is Stark. Herpers are already finding a lot of reptiles there. Very nice salamanders and the red salamander was incessantly active. In Europe slow-moving salamanders are the the norm. Most are in the newt family here.

Was looking forward to start getting out, but now it's 22 F'n degrees out again!! Hopefully this cold snap doesn't put a huge damper on your trips!!

The salamander at 7:30 appears to be a northern ravine salamander (Plethodon electromorphus) or a ravine salamander (Plethodon richmondi), instead of a leadback phase red-backed salamander

Good ethics. Keep it up

AHHHHHHNHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHNHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHNHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ITS ANOTHER MEWING PERSON

I’m the 700 like

Seeing this notification made my day. Also what temperature do you start liking for salamanders again? I live in Wisconsin and have had a hard time, thanks!

What state are you in??? I'm in Washington state. We have lots of Sally's but not as plentiful.

What camera do you use

I was just kidding about that east coast thing, really. I mean, you know, if maybe I could hang out sometime or something?

I live in Maine where is the closest place to find marble salamanders,because they are my favorite and we don’t get them here unfortunately

is this maine, it looks like my backyard !

What state were you in?

❤😢

where was this located?

Nice finds! Flipping a Jefferson is not an easy task, I've only done it on two occasions.

Are you in Indiana

i used to have a pet tiger salamander but he escaped 😭

All my homies hate multiflora rose

#WillRobertson I just posted a awesome vid it had a big speckled king in it
