A Vernal Pool in the Manchaug Pond Watershed

There is the vernal pool ahead of us...



... a bit mystical ... seeming out of place, away from the lake, a distance into the oak/hickory forest.



Turn over a log to reveal... one of the species of salamanders which come each season to lay their eggs here... the rest of the year living within a mile or two of this pool which will be dry by summer.



My sincerest thanks to the property owner and my guides.
