NEWTS!

Newts (baby ones I think, man I am a terrible biologist) appeared at our home to this evening. As I was pulling into the garage, I noticed the first one on the downspout, then noticed the second one in the driveway. I am still trying to figure out what type of newt they are (terrible biologist). After snapping a couple of pictures, I herded the one in the driveway into the planter so he wouldn't get run over. Guess with all the rain be have been having, I'll need to be on newt patrol when moving the cars.

So, I did some research and I think it our visitors are Arboreal Salamanders (Aneides lugubris). I used this web page for the identification. This picture, along with the range, habitat description led me to my conclusion. If anyone thinks otherwise, I am interested in your opinion!
