About 55 degrees and drizzle after a big afternoon soaker of a rainstorm, on a back road through some oak/hickory upland forests dotted with vernal pools in South-Central Michigan. It was early April, April 5 if I'm not mistaken. Pictures are on naherp.com.

This spring I saw my first tiger salamanders by road cruising on a rainy night in early March. Here in Kentucky, they are limited to open areas; the road we cruised ran through pastures with some fairly large but shallow cattle ponds along the road.
