Large numbers of spotted salamanders moving last night in Seymour/Oxford, CT. Out between 8:15 and 9:30 pm. Light rain and 44 degrees. Finally a "big (ish) night."

We had a spotted salamander traveling in mid day, on a dry day, towards a pool. So that is one observation.

Hi All...
So far down here in southeastern MA, I have not seen any significant movement of spotted salamanders...conditions just have not developed as predicted most of the time...March 15th I had five, but that's it... but on the bright side, mortality has been very light so far this year!
I have a rather dum question, but has anyone ever witness or read of them moving during the day if conditions are right? I'm sure the answer is "no" but thought I'd put it out there.
Thanks...Mike
