Okay, today is going to be a heading up a stream to look for some torrent salmanders for some coastal giant salmanders. Fortunately it's been pretty cold and dry in Northwest Oregon here so as far as the herping for your normal woodland sallies subpar. So we got to hit the stream sallies. They still have a good chance of being found even in colder drier weather and we will see what else might pop up along the way. I'm gonna go up this creek drossy if there's any steep tiny tributaries fallen into it look for some stream sallies. Headed up this side channel. It's got some cool, e-roginal aspects to it. Almost looks like a slot canyon that you'd find in Utah. So the stream is gaining an elevation. Got some tree fall form for the falls. We reached the turnaround point. Terrain looks good for salmanders but the substrate doesn't work. It's just all mud. There's not enough rock layer for them to make habitat in. Yeah, too bad. Creek number two. A little bit bigger creek and has some nice straws coming down into it so we shall see what we find. Matt's about to cross the stream. He's decided that this is the most appropriate and safest way to cross it or I think he's just doing it for the video. And now he's wet. Pet your fine wood. This piece of pet your fine wood. It's like to be a few different kinds of type of pet your fine wood. Sweet. The stream has been pretty. The conditions we found in these salmanders in it but it's a nice place. I think it's a devil's club in here. Still early in the season so they don't have their big spiny leaves. Still gotta be careful. So this tree crossed fell down across the creek here. Kept growing. Two little trees popped up out of it. We found a series of paw prints. There's two sets. There's an older set that looked to be probably coyote or cougar and then a smaller set. Could be hawks. And here's some more tracks next to the water. Look at those. Sam and do you spawn in this creek? They give their lives to it. They're on our way out. Not a very successful day in terms of finding much. What are your thoughts? Footprints and a dead fish. Just goes to show you no matter what you get out nature you'll find something.
