Sycamore Camp Ground (cont.) May 1
In the stream tributary mentioned above,
the water temperature at the edge was 15.4°C,
in the middle 12.0°C.
A frog sunning on a rock had a body
temperature of 18.6°C; air temp 14.5°C, rock
surface 21.4°C.
In a pool containing many small
frogs, a single transforming tadpole
was found. Must have overwintered as a
tadpole. How the rest of abundant young
frogs transformed this spring?
Adults were scarce. I took 2 male
and a female here, and another female
in Yule Rock Creek at Pine Mtn. Creek.
Both females had bred. One appeared
very thin, as if just bred, and still
possessed abrasions on the chest.
