On this walk to one of SoFo's vernal ponds, search for the Spotted Salamander, one of four native mole salamanders. This salamander is a beauty, with its shiny black body and bright yellow spots.

It, like the Eastern Tiger Salamander and the Blue-spotted Salamander, as well as the early-autumn breeding Marbled Salamander, is called a mole salamander because it spends most of its time underground. This walk is led by 

Andy Sabin, president of the South Fork Natural History Museum board of directors.

Bring a flashlight and wear boots, as late winter rains will make the ground soggy. Note: This walk will take place only if there have been heavy rains.
