The vernal pools continue to fill with life. This egg mass was recently laid--most likely by a spotted salamander or a blue-spotted salamander. Note the thick envelope of "jelly" surrounding the eggs. The wood frog egg mass is all eggs from surface to center. It is "bumpy" with them while a salamander egg mass is smooth on the outside.
Early spring is the time to search the vernal pools for life. Put your boots on and head to the woods.
