Paul DeBardis 1961 Bufo bereas 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.
