First Intentional Herp-Outing of the Year: Success

[ConcinusMan]

78 in B.C. ? no way! It isn't nearly that warm even in Los Angeles and it's only in the 50's in SW Washington. . must have screwed up on the conversion to F. I just checked Vancouver B.C. and it's 43 F.

Awesome ordie you got there!

Let the season begin. Unless you're in Iowa where it's 23°F/-5C this morning.

We might have another big snow storm on Sat/Sun.

Yikes. Sunny mid 60's here the coming week. Trees are full of blossoms, daffodils and tulips are in bloom, and snakes are on the prowl for mates.

They look just like Sammi only bigger, funny thing that is.

The males are starting to emerge in Michigan!!!
Walked the tracks this afternoon and saw an eastern male by the tracks, and a male T. Butlerii at the edge of the meadow.
Both were *extremely* sluggish and easily picked up. I saw ea h back under cover and tried for some phone pis-Ill try to upload but they are probably lousy.
40's, snow still hanging on in patches, but they're moving!!!

It was only 78 that one day, and that was the air temperature at 1:30 pm on Vancouver Island. We get a little more sporadic weather when it comes to wind and sunshine then the mainland does, exlcuding the interior.

In Nanaimo mind you. it was snowing in Campbell River, a couple hundred km North.
