Herping presentation with Ian Kanda
Ian shared with us his wealth of knowledge along with some fabulous pictures and stories from his many field herping trips, including the Grasslands National Park and the famous Snake Road in Illnois. We were also lucky enough to see the Tiger Salamander, Chorus Frog, Bullsnake, Boreal Toad, and Woodfrog that he brought along. We also got to participate in a trivia game that tested our knowledge on all things reptile. It was a pleasure Ian!

There were also boreal toads. The pictures were accidently deleted from my camera but I have someone working on retrieval so hopefully I'll be able to post them soon.
