Aug. 8 ...searched along the seeps from 8PM-12AM and found 11
salamanders. Most were found under rocks initially but
towards the end I found most of them out foraging. I
got mouth swabs and photos for all 11 Hydromantes. They were
found in the same area (though more extensive) as where I
found them last time, below and around the data logger on
the east and south sides of the lake. I also saw 6 very small
juveniles, all under rocks, that I did not swab. The night
was cool and clear, about 10C when I got back to camp.
