Feb 12 Wilbur Springs, Colusa Co., Calif. - I found
a large adult under a log here. The log was
about 4 feet long and 8-9 inches in diameter,
on the mud of an open grass and dwarf lupin
covered field used for cattle grazing. The toad
was in a pochet under the log and not active,
even when handled. A creek, quite mineral
from several sulfur springs in the area was
about 40 yards away. The only other amphibians
in evidence were Hyla calling in the distance.
There may be some pure water around than
the stream, but insects at least do live in the
stream.
