Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Out here they are very gregarious. If I find one, I find five, sometimes under the same rock.

That's what I keep hearing... I just got back from a whole afternoon of flipping logs around some wetlands and I didn't find a single snake. I came back with some pics of a spotted salamander, some redback salamanders, two snapping turtles (not from flipping logs obviously ) and some far away shots of painted turtles that I couldn't get anywhere near.
I'm gonna try road cruising tonight to try for some milk snakes in the same area.

Good luck with the night drive. Post those pics when you get a chance, love to see the Spotted, especially.

Very nice photos Jeff. You definately have some talent for wildlife photography.
I particularly like the second shot of the spotted and the head on of the snapper. I've always loved snappers.

I believe that frog is a leopard frog. The blotches on a Pickerel frog's back are more square shaped and in parallel rows, and the spot in the tympanum is black if it is present at all.

I agree with Jeremiah on that; Leopard Frog, for the reasons he brought up. Awesome pics of the spotted, and the others. Thanks for sharing.

haha, see? I told you I suck at telling the difference.... That's cool though because I didn't have any pictures of a leopard frog before, so I can cross that off my list. I think I'm up to 23 or 24 of the 41 species of herps here in Erie County.

Not to shabby. I've got like 140 +- for CA. That number is old, don't know what a lot of the recent taxonomy changes have done to that number, as it's hard to keep up lately. Maybe I should just stick with the county and not the state. I need to do a head count, of both the actual life list and those that I have a photo of, and see where I'm at.
