Hi!! I was wondering if you could help me identify some pond eggs? I am thinking they might be salamander...

Here are some pics (I blogged about them) from the early stages:

and then here's the latest photo of the 2nd type from that previous post:

Any ideas? Thanks SO much!! I'm so curious about these! They're in a pond in a nearby natural area. Thanks!!

Yes, they're salamander eggs. They're usually pretty clear or sometimes green from algae. White eggs normally are fungused but sometimes they become white (the jello and not the eggs themselves) and still have viable embyros. I see an embryonic salamander in that last photo that you posted.
