Herping in the field is often about spotting movement (when not flipping) so training the eye for mushrooms took some getting used to. We were barely on the trail before Jef brought something to our attention... the largest snapper that I had seen all year!
This bruiser was quite the beauty and didn't mind my getting into her face for that second (uncropped) shot.
In addition to some interesting 'shroomage, Drumlin Farms had a lot of beauty to offer.
After the class, we roamed the area, looking for herps and more mushrooms.
We found a peeper
and a Green Frog.
Not to mention a Dagger Moth Caterpillar
and a Red Fox (OK, this one was in a display cage... but he's cool!)
We also found some slugs that were as enthusiastic about mushrooms as we were!
A great day, considering it was cool and rainy. Thanks, Jef!
As the year winds down, we never know which herp trip will be our last until Spring... *shudder*
