Bufo marinus
Dec 24 Rio Cihuátén, 18.1 mi N Miramar, Colima,
Mexico. While collecting some Eleuthrodact-
tyles we heard in the back ground what
I thought was a truck engine warming up.
When the sound remained so constant, we -
Gene Hippmann, Nate Cohen, & I - went over
to investigate it. It was a large chorus
of these toads. They sat either in large
open pools in the river or on the mud
close to the pools. Some would swim
into the pools, but most remained
motionless until collected. They were quite
conspicuous in the light, showing up
light brown against darker. Nate caught
a pair.
