Lucia came flying into the house the other day shouting "Mommie, look what I found! My first salamander!" Having a brother who prides himself on stalking the wild anything, she doesn't get a chance to get her hands onto much of anything before he swoops in.
But under the hay bales in the front yard, she found this adorable yellow spotted salamander and moved fast to snatch it up before the stiff competition noticed it.
River found an earthworm, the biggest I think I've ever seen, which was obviously too large for the salamander to consume.
And off to Day Pond to enjoy some sand a a swim while the boys hunted various creatures in the water.
Like this poor baby pickerel, for instance, gasping for breath while we document his capture.
