Earlier this week, Chris drove up to New Jersey in order to see me graduate today.  So yesterday we made a trip to a local state park to do a little herping.  Combined we found 25 Two-lined Salamanders, 18 Redback Salamanders, 5 Northern Dusky Salamanders, and 5 Pickerel Frogs (and also a shrew).  I had found Pickerel’s at Crossing before, but never any cooperative enough to photograph.  Fortunately, we went early in the day and found a frog that was not yet too warm and therefore made a pretty cooperative subject for some stock photos of the species.

Techs: Canon 1D Mark II N, 70-200mm f/4L IS USM, 12mm + 25mm Extenders.  To order this print, purchase stock rights, or view other photos I have for sale, please visit my website at www.karipost.com.
