9 February sets of cat feces, one on the road
(continued) near the parking lot and one near
the top of the trail to the archery range
- both seemingly full of microtus. Next
drove around to other entrance and
walked to the lagoons. Saw plenty of
newts, but not nearly as many as
yesterday and they seemed more wary.
Seemed that I saw more towards
mid-pond than yesterday.
20 February Briar Regional Park, Cortina Costa Co., California
Went to the Alhambra Valley entrance w/
graduate students and Zool 107 class. Cool,
sunny, very windy. Met at 0800, walked
to lower lagoons, where we saw many
fewer Taricha than two weeks ago - also
saw well developed eggs, some hatched
masses, and some eaten masses. Several
Hyla regilla pairs and a few egg masses.
At the second pond, a Rana aurora (?)
egg mass ~40cm from shore w/ tadpo
hatching - whole clutch is ~1 round,
floating, ~20cm diameter. At the
larger Simodeitch lagoon no Clemmys
but many Taricha - again it looks
like this pond is delayed relative to the
