Notes
Snow on the ground in most areas of the forest, this seepage originates at the base of a hill that receives good sun. Skunk cabbage shoots also present due to the relative warmth of the water.
Air temp was 27F, wind chills around 15F. No temp gun for water but estimate it's temp in the mid 40s. Duskies were all found under rocks within 40 ft of the seepage origination. 1 adult and 2 babies.
Camera fell in water resulting in crappy shots....
1st NAFHA records for this species in this county. A very common species.
