Woodlands of Bedford: Salamanders of Sagamore Creek

7/23/2017

0 Comments

 
Overview:
Join volunteer naturalist Fred Losi for a mid-day summer walk along beautiful Sagamore Creek in search of salamanders.  Wear wettable shoes and clothing as we walk alongside and in the creek

What a great day to explore Sagamore Creek!  The weather was near perfect and the water level made our search for Salamanders an easy endeavor.

We noted two different species:
  • Northern Two-lined Salamander, Eurycea bislineata
  • Eastern Red-backed Salamander, Plethodon cinereus
​Two-lined were noted along the waters edge just east of the Salamander creek crossing.  The Red-backed were seen along the southern floodplain near the first woodlands falls to the west of the creek crossing.

We also noted an American Toad, several species of mushrooms and one impressive Dark Fishing Spider.

If you enjoyed this outing, please consider the August Tinker's Creek Stream Walk on my Nature Calendar.  Otherwise, I hope to see everyone on a future Woodlands program.  Enjoy summer!
