It doesn't matter if it is actually raining, just that it has recently and the ground is wet. This often means being out in the rain, though. Usually amphibians are moving by 9 pm if conditions are right, and may continue all night if conditions remain warm and wet enough.Jim McCormachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444322057532066466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-33068603522481385802014-03-24T00:24:21.996-04:002014-03-24T00:24:21.996-04:00I'm trying to see the salamander migration at ...I'm trying to see the salamander migration at a vernal pool and wonder if you have tips for seeing it. I'm thinking I should look for forecasts of rain at night, with warm temperatures.<br /><br />But I don't know if that means 40 degrees or 50 degrees F minimum?<br /><br />Also, does night mean anytime from sunset to sunrise or just midnight to sunrise?<br /><br />I'm trying to narrow it down so I know when to go to the vernal pool.<br /><br />Do I stay up late on the night with a good forecast and only go to the pool once it starts raining?<br /><br />Do I try to stay there all night until daybreak? Or do I just spend two hours there?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />TheDonTheDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513448307752356678noreply@blogger.com
