The photograph was taken at Mason Neck State Park. The youngster seemed just as curious about me as I was with him.

Eastern newts home using magnetic orientation. Their magnetoreception system seems to be a hybrid of polarity-based inclination and a sun-dependant compass. Shoreward-bound Eastern newts will orient themselves quite differently under light with wavelengths of ~400 nm than light with wavelengths of ~600 nm, while homing newts will orient themselves the same way under both short and long wavelenghts.[1] It is considered very likely that ferromagnetic material, probably biogenic magnetite, is present in the Eastern newt's body.
