New Leaf Fwd: Likely Salamander Movement Tonight

[Tim Zimmerman]

FYI - This is an awesome thing to experience. Wear rain gear/bring an 
umbrella. Unfortunately I can't make it this year.

Dear Salamander Lovers,

It is looking likely that the spotted salamander population at Henry 
Street will make their annual mass migration tonight just after sunset. 
This is year three in a project I am leading examining how well the 
tunnels are functioning as well as developing new techniques for 
improving their functionality.

Tonight, we will be meeting on site at 6:30pm (near the parked jeep 
wrangler on the side of Henry Street). The site is near Cushman market 
if you are not sure where the tunnels are. There we will briefly go over 
the experiment as well as protocol (if you have attended in previous 
years, it will essentially be the same). We will distribute supplies 
from the back of the jeep. If you arrive on site and no one is at the 
jeep, I will be sitting at the northern tunnel entrance in a cowboy hat 
and orange raincoat.

Please bring rain gear as well as flashlights if you have them. All rows 
/will/ get wet. We have flashlights that we can provide if you do not 
have one. Also, if you need a ride, text or call at 301-717-8506 and we 
can try to work something out.

Thanks so much for caring about these little guys!

Best,

Brandon
