’tis the season when a salamander’s fancy turns to thoughts of species propagation, which means you can spot them wriggling their way to vernal pools. Rocky Pond Road in Hollis is one good area to watch (and DRIVE SLOWLY, please, so you don’t run them over. Check out the state Fish and Game website for more info and photos. Use a headlamp, reflective vest or something so you don’t get run over, and if you help a salamander cross the road, be gentle, and make sure your hands are wet so you don’t hurt them.
