| Nice report Ryan! I'm really hoping to find a few of the finds u made today, such as the Mississippi Green, Marbled Salamander, or Bird-Voiced Tree Frog, before the season ends. I really wish I had a car, or even a bike down here at SIU, being right on the edge of the Shawnee Forest! I'm just dying to get out to some places and start looking! |

| I see you added some good stuff the second day Ryan. Did you find the bird-voiced treefrogs in the spot you told me about or at a different spot. Did you go to Heron Pond to find the smallmouth and marbled sallies? -Andrew |

| Nice report Ryan. Looks like a lot of people went down this week and a lot of the numbers are similar. Too bad about the poison ivy though. That sucks really bad. Was that from climbing up in the bluffs? |

| I got it too Ryan. I who never gets poison ivy got it all over my arms. It grows like a tree down there! |
