We were able to take a day during the ASIH meeting to look for some herps in the Columbia River Gorge area east of Portland. Weather was hot and dry with highs approaching 95-100 but we did find a few amphibians.
Rhyacotriton olympicus (Olympic Torrent Salamander) adults
Dicamptodon copei (Cope's Giant Salamander) larvae
Dicamptodon tenebrosus (Pacific Giant Salamander) larvae and metamorphosed adult
Ascaphus truei (Tailed Frog) tadpole
Rana aurora (Red-Legged Frog) juveniles and an adult
And some scenery:
