Bufo boreas
Aug 9 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif.
Found one at the edge of a patch of
red alder woodland, with dense undergrowth
of salmonberry and blackberry - was on
open ground. This was about 6:30 AM, foggy
and cool.
Aug 12 Same location
Toads seem rather common here. Dr.
Pearson has found 2 (my cat. Aug 11) near
the barn nearby in the evening. There are
dozens which have just metamorphosed
at the edge of the lagoon, though the water
is oily. These are just at the point of leaving
the water. Cullion has found tadpoles in
a pool.
Aug 18 Same location
Have noted a definite greenish, and
almost venish cast to color of several small
individuals.
Aug 20 4 mi NNE French Camp, Humboldt Co., Calif.
Cullion found 2 in evening at an old
dark
abandoned ranch.
