I found another dead salamander in the grass yesterday. Just lying on the grass. This is about the third one I have found this way, although several live in my garden.
I suspect the dead ones might have been caught by a bird, then dropped when the bird realized how bad it tastes. Because they are not in a salamander-friendly area.
I once got hit on the head by a little mussel shell, dropped by a passing bird. :rolleyes:

That's better than some things a bird could drop on your head...

We have Eastern Narrowmouth toads. They are suppose to be toxic but my chickens don't seem to mind. I first found it when we were clearing some brush and we put it in the bushes but a sharp visioned chicken was on it in a second. Brats!

This reminds me of what happened to my husband on Sunday. We took my sister out to a local winery for a glass of wine. It's a very nice hugh open area by the water. Lot's of seating with high tables and outdoor couches. Sitting there enjoying our sparking rose' when a seagull decided to bomb my husband. Luckily it was only on his shirt. :p
