Last pictures for a while, I'm back in the classroom and won't have all the time to go places for a while. Surprisingly, not a lot of inverts. Some very cool amphibians that I've seen before.

I saw two on Saturday. Given how dry the area is most of the year, these guys probably spend a week or two above ground. When I lived further east of Flagstaff their would be years when it was very wet and I would see a ton of these guys for a few days. Their would also be years in which I wouldn't see any. I bet these guys could go a few years without eating or moving above ground. I have no idea of the species. I have never seen that little frog species. I thought that was the coolest thing I saw.
