Field Guide: A-Z

In rainy autumn weather, adult male tiger salamanders move to fishless ponds or marshes. Females may move toward water in autumn or in early spring.

In white-tailed deer, the color pattern of the winter coat is grayish to grayish brown — not reddish brown to tan — and this is often called the blue coat. The hairs of the back are blacker tipped, giving a darker appearance to the back, but the black chin patch is less sharply defined.
