A small young one. Possibly a recent metamorph from this years eggs. Was honestly pretty shocked but happy to see one.

The target species for the day! The largest siren I have ever seen, yes I do realize there are larger species, but this one was thick and long. Super happy I was finally able to get one in TN.

It was caught in a roadside ditch by a Great Blue Heron. In the first pic you can see one of the front legs. In the 2nd pic the heron is holding the siren by it’s leg. There's additional pics and a short video of the encounter here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S160276041

This observation is for the leopard frog on the left. Wildlander ended up finding it a few feet away from the pickerel so decided to get a comparison shot. Note the bold worm creeping up in the second pic.

First tiger of 2024!
Was debating going out for the night and I'm glad @wp_herping convinced me because as soon as I got to the spot, I saw this individual crossing the road.

I see nine on the wall of the Ranger Station. Maybe they catch moths and other bugs attracted to a porch light at night?

Super shocked to see this one using artificial cover. Had to fish it put to get a proper ID and am glad I did.

Was walking through the creek when I see this sight! I always love watching feeding behavior with wild snakes. It just sucks it had to be red salamander larva.
This observation is for the larva in the snakes mouth.

Today a group of Virginia Tech students, Virginia Tech professor - Kevin Hamed, Tennessee State University professor - Bill Sutton, TDEC State Zoologist - David Withers, and Metro Park staff, studied Poplar Creek to check out how our population of the state endangered Streamside Salamander, ambystoma barbouri, are doing.
Bells Bend Park currently holds the westernmost population in Tennessee. Up until today, larvae and eggs had been spotted multiple times but never an adult. Today TWO adults were found!

Very unfortunate DOR, but it was interesting to see evidence of a coral snake eating a coral snake mimic. I will post a separate observation for the scarlet snake

I saw this tiny lizard sunning itself on a dead tree by the mountain streams bank. It was a sunny autumn day, approximately 60°. A few hundred yards down the river, I observed two more equal size, one was more green than the other. Both specimens were approximately 2 inches in length.
