Re: [vernalpool] Info about salamander movement

I was out looking on a road in Lincoln this morning that tends to get a lot
of migration activity. Not a single squashed critter on about a half-mile
of road. We're still under a lot of snow - the woods around Lincoln that
I've been in the last couple of days have as much as a foot on everything
but south-facing slopes. Maybe today's rain will do a lot of melting and
prime the pump.
