25 July Arizona, Graham Co., vicinity Calva to Gila Co., Rose Creek
Canyon appeared excellent but search short, weather overcast, and no specimens
Taken. Put up in Rose Creek Forest Service
Public Campground for night. It is
situated N.S. Roosevelt Lake on road to Young.
In late afternoon collected nice series
of B. tarahumarae larvae one of the
objectives but failed to find any adults
the other objective. During evening
walk up road to check on any possible
amphibian choruses took series of young
B. compactilis young and one adult.
Heard no choruses. Why have we not
yet heard B. compactilis sound off?
This appears to be very pleasant spot
to camp. No insects to speak of at
night, considerable stands of mixed
conifer and broad leaf trees, few people.
26 July Arizona, Gila Co., Rose Creek to Maricopa Co., N.W. Phoenix
One hour during morning 1000-1100 spent
looking for B. tarahumarae adults in
tributary of Creek about half mile below
Hodge and campground. Many tadpoles
in various stages of growth present but
no adults seen. Many spots appeared
ideal. Stream small rocky broken
into numerous pools between series
