Western azolea Willow-like (not Salix) clumps near study site 5-8 ft. high; no leaf but flower buds about to open. Red-winged blackbirds these thickets or water carried Piles of dead pine needles pretty brown into clumps but probably also brought there dry woodchats (?) from hummocks at loss of bushes. Willow-like clumps on higher ground. This and rodent tunnels could attract toads. Numerous sowbugs and some spiders under fire wood blocks at base of one of the willow- like clumps.
