I have heard that they can be found when there is still snow and even some ice out. Here in Columbus, there are fantastic vernal pools, but unfortunately, no intact wooded uplands or clean water. Our salamanders have long gone extinct along the Olentangy River.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://hiramtom.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Tom @ Ohio Nature</A>Tom Arbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919759721690261620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-91458669229386193002008-02-18T17:52:00.000-05:002008-02-18T17:52:00.000-05:00Have you read Swampwalker's Journal?

Because of this, the building of a long planned road and a residential development are hold while further studies are done. I am afraid the developers will win the battle though.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.com
