MOUNT HAMILTON & HERPING THE COAST WITH ZACH
In the morning I checked out Mount Hamilton.

One of several California Slender Salmanders that were found.

A Northwest Forest Scorpion.

Northern Pacific Rattlesnake.

A non-native American Bullfrog.

The misty atmosphere was ideal for salamanders like these Ensantinas.

An adult Arboreal Salamander.

California Newt.

A pair of Northern Pacific Rattlesnakes.

California Quail taking a dust bath.

I came across a handful of California Toads.

In the afternoon I caught up with Zach and we hit the coast.

Sierran Treefrog.

Coast Garter Snake.

Herp habitat.

The first of two Federally Endangered San Francisco Garter Snakes found that afternoon.

San Francisco Garter Snake #2.

A Rubber Boa.

The same snake illustrating a classic Rubber Boa defense strategy - presenting it's tail as a fake head while hiding its real one.

It was an awesome visit to the Golden State.
