On a cooler, cloudy morning two days after some rain passed through the area I visited a small spring-fed stream at the base of some limestone bluffs. After flipping the first few rocks and seeing larval salamanders, I knew this was the right spot to look for my target. Not long after I flipped this old male about twenty feet downstream from the bluffs under a large, chunky rock partly in the water. This salamander was flighty, but sat still for pictures.
