I have just started following the conversation (just got back in town and sorting through
Tweeters and OBOL and AZ bird equivalent and the farn messages really pile up.
Almost overwhelming.) on Vertebrates in Seattle Parks and wondered what an Ensatina
was. So GOOGLED and came up with this link and photos:

Also noted that Enstatina and Ensatina are both used (in either scientific nomenclature or coommon
terminolgy. Interesting.

The link at:

contains enough info to keep you occupied for a fair amount of time (and I barely have
time for birds!!)

Thanks for the prompt to look in other directions, I think!

BTW saw a Bobcat (Also, deer and elk) at Tenino this past Sunday. Great animals.
