 PHOTOS COURTESY OF EAST BRUNSWICK ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION Left: a female salamander, whose swollen midsection indicates she’s filled with eggs, crosses Beekman Road in East Brunswick March 26, when observers came out to watch the amphibians’ annual migration to breed in nearby vernal pools. Officials closed the road that rainy evening so that the 7-inch female and others could be spared from passing vehicles. Right: two local youngsters meet a couple of the slithery, spotted friends found crossing the road in the rain.  |
