Mr. Edwards is on vacation. Got permission to do night work at Elliott Pond from his caretaker. This man told me of a pond along Green Valley Rd (near Freedom) where he used to catch salamander larvae by hooks while fishing (could be A. tigrinum).

Mydriacraea wanderaing about at edge of willows - about 30 yds from edge of pond area. Left for home at 10 pm. Traffic heavy from San Mateo on. Arrived MVZ about 12:30 am.
