Went to Brecksville Station via the Metroparks and found that a part was closed off due to the annual salamander migration. When I spoke to the attendants, I was told that they spotted one unidentified salamander, a spring peeper and a wood frog. I continued to Brecksville Station and saw that it was closed due to the flooding of the Cuyahoga River: http://www.nps.gov/cuva/parknews/ohio-and-erie-canal-towpath-trail-closed-due-to-flooding.htm. So, I went to take a look cause that is what i do. I didn’t see any anura, but did come across several drowned Wollybears. Wollybears cannot swim, and resuscitation would have been futile. I can see why it was closed, the river overflowed it’s banks in two areas and was flowing over the towpath several inches deep. I stopped when I couldn’t see the path under the silty water. I am going to venture out tomorrow so see if I can find any anura to photograph for my site, www.voicesinthevalley.com, which will be up soon. I’m looking to use only photos that I’ve taken for visuals. It was raining and about 35 degrees with the temperature dropping between 9-10pm. Sleet started to fall in some areas. Climbing out of the valley, the ambient temp was warmer so there was only rain at the time.
