Salamander rescue on Alspach Road
Final shot as we approach the slope down to a creek bed that should be a better situation. I delivered another salamander (same species) to this very spot in 2019. In that case the temperature was falling and the salamander had fallen into torpor, appearing dead on the road. That one warmed up in my hand and had been restored to movement by the time we got to the creek. This year’s salamander hadn’t been so chilled and was quite lively during the transport.
