J. D. Anderson 1958 Journal June 20 Valencia Lagoon, Rio del Mar, Santa Cruz Co., Calif. food study. This pond has shrunk some but there is still deep water >3 ft deep in middle. Eleocharis has become so thick that dip netting is impractical most places except in deepest pools. Worked there for 1 hr 15 min. with no luck. Here too the young Hyla are hopping about in fantastic numbers. Saw several newly transformed L. aurora as well as tadpoles in all stages of metamorphosis. Worked under the willows turning logs for newly metamorphosed Limnodynastes. Got 1 under a small, rotted willow branch after turning practically every log in the place. Just after getting it I was leaning over to get at another log & jammed a dead willow twig into my left eye. This of twig hit the eyeball & broke. The broken portion deflected upwards & lodged under the eyelid. Extremely painful. Extracted it & returned erratically to car. After bathing eye for 3/4 hour it opened & felt better. But in another hour it began to throb & smart. Lid swollen again so I decided to drive home while I could still see. Arrived Berkeley at 8 pm, deposited animals in MVZ. Home log 9. Sight still blurred in left eye. Bathed it for an hour & felt much better.
