Hydra toda apparently got out in time here. Day hot and muggy. July 28 50 yards NW of museum, Yosemite Valley, 4000 ft. Mariposa Co., Calif. One adult toad found 8:10 AM smashed by a car. Spot not far from SW corner of wildflower garden where a small violet flower. Day-time temperatures are in 90's at present. Toads must be restricted to night-time food- seeking and probably areas of moisture or cover, e.g. near the museum garden and watered cultivated area. At 11:15 p.m. (D.S.) I made check of Sentinel Meadow, 1/2 mi. S Gaist. Center. No toads seen this area or under lights W of Gaist. Center. Temperatures in low 70's, no breeze. Little water flowing thru the meadow.
