E.L. Karlstrom 1954 Bufo boreas (34) June 4 1/2 mi. S Garst Center, Yoc. Valley. Attein have as many as 4-5 large on each upright branch. Sky clear with some cloudiness to the W. The day has been alternately cloudy and semi-clear. Relative humidity readings 4:15 P.M. in open sunny open almost dry grass DB 79; WB 62 F. Initial reading, 81 F. Monstrose mosquitoes out this afternoon. Wild rose has bloomed out (violet colorama) since first vegetation check. This species acts a climber among rhododendron bushes E and SE of my study pond. I noted a few Dodecatheum plants in the meadow, these blooming at to 10" height. Algal growth seems restricted to a greenish-yellow growth matting near the edges of the pools. It is heavier than ever before but still covers less than 1/5 of pond surface. Lots of water in meadow. The supply seems unchanged over past 2 months. I made a quite thorough check of the ponds for eggs, covering area within 50-75 yards E and W of walk footpath. No trout eggs. Hydran tadpoles larger and reduced in numbers. They swim and bury themselves in bottom mire as you approach, making it difficult to catch them with a small gig net. Stevenson meadow, Yoc. Valley. at 4:50 P.M. I made quick check too. The pool (B) along the footpath has been reduced 1/3 since yesterday. A robin was unmistakably perching on the congested tods (ready all Bufo)
