Introduction to "Salamanders in Sweat Mountain Park"

Hi and welcome to the Sweat Mountain Park blog. This area of the blog is on the salamanders in Sweat Mountain Park. My name is Julia and along with my partner Alex and the rest of my class we go into the creek and conduct our designated projects. I'm studying what type of salamanders can be found and where and Alex is studying the size of the salamanders that we find.
So far we've had luck finding the salamanders using the kicksein in the pools of the creek. It has been difficult finding them in other places such as the riffles and runs. I need to find them on land, pools, riffles and runs. Only 2 specimens of salamanders have been found. Only 11 have been found. 10 of those are a muddy brown color and 1 is orange-green. I was suprised that we never found another of the orange-green kind.
Please contine reading the other entries for more information on the salamanders in Sweat Mounatin Park. We hope that you will find it interesting. Thank you!
