Went on a roadtrip to Ontario, the weather was pretty cold so we didnt see any snakes but found other cool stuff that was the first time for me
Heres a few pictures:
Western painted turtle, Chrysemys picta bellii, from Barren Lake, Manitoba
American toad, Bufo americanus, from Kenora, Ontario
Another toad shot
We found three of these salamanders on the same road as the toads. I belive its bluespotted salamander, Ambystoma laterale, but Im not sure.
Another sally shot
A few of these spring peeper, Pseudacris crucifer, was also on that road
Outside Kenora we found this fellow crossing the road, Western painted turtle, Chrysemys picta bellii
Another shot
Spectacular underside of these ones
On the way back home we crossed a bridge over a river with a interesting name, Rattlesnake Creek. There are no rattlers in that part of the province but maybe they once was found there.
We also saw 6 black bears (first time ever I see a wild bear) but the first one we saw was injured in a ditch here in Manitoba
Then we saw another one but disappeared before I had the camera ready. Well sometimes even a posing bear isnt good enough... this third one was more then willing to be on photo but they turned out crap anyway
We also saw one wolf and it acctually stayed within range for a little while but I need a telelens for sure....
