Join birder and camera meetups: Salamander Migration Hike @ Caesar Creek
- March 15 · 7:00 PM
Attn: hike rescheduled due to weather again. Please register at link below to get updates for reschedule. Currently, the plan is next Friday. Sorry but the little buggers aren't showing their faces just yet.
The Lytle Creek League of Conservators/No Child Left Indoors organization is sponsoring a Salamander Migration Hike. In deference to the predictable unpredictability of nature's timing and in order to make sure we have the best chance to actually see them migrating to their breeding ponds we may hike Friday February 24, March 2 or March 9. The actual hike date will be determined on the Wednesday before the hike date. Together we will search for salamanders as they awaken from hibernation and move toward their breeding ponds. There is no cost for this event and no experience is necessary. This is an adventure for the entire family. Please dress for the weather - boots and a flashlight are essential. Remember, salamanders prefer to move in the rain, so be prepared for muddy fun! Pre-registration is required. To register go to greenalliancecc.com or call Lori Williams, [masked].U.S. Army
Simmie, the organizer for the Birders Meetup posted this and sent it out to us as well hoping we would join in for the fun. I think it sounds great. Please read the details as the date and time may change depending on the conditions.
I suggest we meet and carpool/caravan at some spot. Anyone with a suggestion feel free to post in comments and I will set up something more formal.
Due to the type of hike, I would say kids welcome but dogs not so much. I don't think we'd see too many salamanders with the likes of Jodi and Jeter chasing them away.

Jana, I spoke too soon. Looks like I will be in Blue Ash taking my friend to physical therapy and then leaving from there. I would have preferred to have driven together. I'll see you there.

I'd be interested in going with you, Jana, if you are still coming from Florence. I live in Florence, so let me know if you want me to just give you my address or we can meet somewhere.

Official from Lori!!
It doesn't look like this Friday will have good "salamandering" conditions, so we will look forward to seeing you next Friday the 8th. If by chance the conditions are going to be PERFECT a night other than next Friday, March 8, we may try to put together a quick trip on a week night.
I know that is not ideal, but at least it will give us a chance to experience the spotted salamander migration.--
Thanks,
Lori WilliamsPractice Kindness!

Depending on the date, I would like to attend. Is it a silly question to ask where they migrate from?

Seeing these salamanders is pretty amazing. Black and hot yellow in color. They have nothing on Lady GaGa in terms of flash! What a great activity!
