@junipermonkeys Looks like a #RoughSkinnedNewt ! They're neat little dudes. I see them sometimes swimming around in the #PNW . Don't touch 'em (or let a critter lick/eat one) though; their skin has a gnarly tetrodotoxin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough-skinned_newt

Close! It's a California News, but similarly not fun to eat :D (a good weekend - we got this California Newt last weekend, Sierra Newts *this* weekend!)
