S. B. Ruth Journal
March 21 3 mi. E. Burnt Ranch, Hwy 299, Trinity Co., ca
water ran down a spill way type
arrangement. All of the adult Ascaphus
captured seem to be ♂'s while
several of the immatures are ♀'s.
I crossed the highway and made
my way down the bank to where
the Little Bidden creek empties into
the Trinity River. I caught several
more yellow legged frogs and one
adult and one immature Ascaphus
on this lower side of the creek.
The Ascaphus are found right
in the fine rock at the waters
edge and in debris while the
Rana are found on large wet
rocks in or beside the creek.
One was captured swimming in
the current at the mouth of
Little Bidden Creek. I packed
the Rhyacotriton on Ice and we
left about 3:45.
