Hi Don,
I'm just west of you in the Town of Ontario, Wayne County. I checked the PGCA Member Roster and you're just east of me over in Oswego - snow country that you might be seeing an abundance of this weekend. You probably know Don May, single trigger specialist and overall, a good double gun mechanic. Nice guy too.
That black one does seem to match a Jefferson or Blue Spotted Salamander but I didn't think they were around here. First one I've seen.
Most of what I see are those Red Back's and Duskies with the Spotted variety occasionally. Neat critters for sure. Thanks for that link that shows and describes some of the other NYS salamanders. Good info. Bill.
