J.D. Anderson 1958 Journal ponds 1 & 2 still prove interesting. A thorough search of #1 produced only 2 FF at edge, eggs have been laid & animals are leaving. In #2 FF abundant, fertilized & laying. Ground snow is much reduced now present in well sheltered areas. Walked over to the original two ponds which Don Wilholski & I found last year. Last week they were snowed in tight but this week they are open but with considerable snow around the edge. Got 3 FF & 1 O" at pond #3 (circular pond of last year). 1 1/2 at pond #4. Sprung a leak in my left boot & the cold water numbed the foot so I took this out for repair. Red returned soon after so we ate supper (5 pm). At 6 pm I worked pond #1 again for larvae. Sight woo bad but I got 4 in some aquatic vegetation ( dead ). They were resting well up on the leaves - off the bottom about 3-5" in water approx. 10" deep. Back to camp to write notes. Trees here as follows: Ledgepole Pine, White Pine, Red Fir, White Fir & Mt. Hemlock. Good Canadian Zone vegetation. At 9 pm I worked all 4 ponds to see if animals were active or yet. Not quite dark enough for lights to be effective & too dark to see very well. So back to camp. Piddled some salamanders. At 10 pm Red & I went to pond #2, using Coleman kerosene lantern & flashlight [illegible] saw a 9 walker's mud small log split from shore in 6" of water. She feled & I checked under log & found freshly laid eggs which were not there late in the afternoon. At the west end of the pond where there are many logs & little in water we saw 6 more FF all moving about the logs. Two were near
