2 Northwestern salamander egg masses clustered together, attached to a long submerged tree branch but laying on the bottom of the pond, approximately 6 feet from shore. Masses are spherical with some algae cover and are approximately 2.5 and 3 inches in diameter.

2 Northwestern salamander egg masses clustered together, attached to submerged stick at approximately 2 foot depth, 8 feet from shore. Masses are spherical with some algae cover and are approximately 2 and 3 inches in diameter.

4 Northwestern salamander egg masses clustered together, attached to submerged stick at approximately 1 foot depth, 2 feet from shore. Masses are spherical, with some algae cover (one appears newer, with less algae?), and range in diameter from approximately 1-3 inches.

1 Northwestern salamander egg mass (attached beside previously reported cluster of 7 older Northwestern salamander egg masses: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/22799679). Attached to a single submerged stick 2 feet from shore, and 1 foot deep. Mass is spherical, not yet covered in algae, and approximately 2 inches in diameter.

Accompanied by a newer NOSA egg-mass (separate report).

7 Northwestern salamander egg masses clustered together!! Attached to a single submerged stick 2 feet from shore, and 1 foot deep. Masses are spherical, covered in algae, and approximately 2.5-3.5 inches in diameter.

Accompanied by a newer NOSA egg-mass (separate report).

1 Northwestern salamander egg mass attached to emergent vegetation, at approximately 5 feet from shore. The mass is approximately 2 inches in diameter. Very little algae on jelly surface; eggs appear to be lighter colored in the interior but difficult to see clearly.

3 Northwestern salamander egg mass clustered together, attached to a submerged sticks, at approximately 2 foot depth and 5 feet from shore. Spherical, 2 masses newer (no algae) and one older (algae covering surface). Masses are approximately 2 - 2.5 inches in diameter.

3 Northwestern salamander egg mass clustered together, attached to a submerged sticks of recent western redcedar limb drops, approximately 6 inches from shore. Spherical, with algae cover. Approximately 0.5 - 2 inches in diameter.

1 Northwestern salamander egg mass attached to a submerged stick at approximately 2 foot depth, 5 feet from shore. Oblong along stick length, no algae cover to obscure eggs inside jelly. Approximately 1.5 x 3 inches in diameter.

Attached to stick shared by two older NOSA masses

4 egg masses of varying sizes clustered onto submerged woody debris approximately 2 feet deep and 4 feet from shore.

Worth noting is on the same set of branches there were two Long-toed Salamander egg masses as well, cool!

Strangely oblong egg-mass, approximately 2.5 inches across, but nearly 6 inches long, attached along the length of multiple pieces of small woody debris under the water at approximately 3 feet deep. Mass was observed about 4 feet from the edge of the pond.
