Hunting today (with a camera that is....)...

Went looking for newts, but the water was DEEP and damn cold (ha ha not really, I just didn't wanna get dirty). I was actually collecting branches for the baby Jungles so I brought the camera along for fun.

Primo Newt Habitat!

Saw close to 100 of these dudes and dudettes today!!! Totally cool little guys...

Very cool... My first "purchased" herp was a newt.

So, I guess your ponds don't have ice on them anymore, eh?

Oh wow! 100's eh? Damn! You lucky islander!!

It was nuts man. I've seen Long-toeds in that density, but never Western Red-backs! It was great! But no Red-legged Frogs. That was disappoiting. No tadpoles either. Kind of concerned.

Ha ha "ice" Crannie? What's that? I think the temperatures have to get below freezing for that to happen, LOL!

Wait a minute... you mean all of Canada isn't frozen 9/12 months!?!?!?

That's it, I'm on the next flight in ANY direction! lol

LOL, but then who would cheer for the Bummers? Or the Phantom remains of the Jets? LOL!
