Wearing a headlamp and chest waders, Department of Environmental Protection endangered species biologist Dave Golden walks carefully through a frigid pond in Cape May County on a nighttime search for salamanders and frogs.

It’s an eerie, almost otherworldly scene as the beam from Golden’s headlamp dances across the surface of the pond and trees along the pond’s edges. Chorus frogs and spring peepers chirp raucously, apparently unfazed by Golden’s presence.
