Journal (5) April 8 At 8:35 A.M. I checked ponds SE side of road between Dental Bridge and Camp 6. Water sample taken (speedometer reading 9.55) and then SW down road (9.6). Dental Bridge reading 9.7. Hyla heard only at 9.6 spot. At 9:05 P.M. (4000 ft.) I arrived at Stramon Meadow. Loud Hyla chorus from various meadowlets and ponds middle part of meadow. Evening remained clear and cold. Air temp. 2.5° C. At 9:30 P.M. I collected 5 adult male Bufo boreas at one pond south side of road. Returned half frozen to cabin 10:10 P.M. April 9 morning broke clear and cold. Temp. near cabin 7:30 A.M. was 8° C. I checked in at the museum 8:30 and constructed a box for the max.-min. thermometer in the museum shop. Norm Werkenheim gave me an assist in finding materials. At 9:30 I checked ponds located in meadow area between Camp 6, Government Center, and Dental Bridge. Hyla adults calling and some out in water. Temp. now high 50's with moderate to strong westerly wind. Ponds near where road blocked off (½ mile SW Government Center) may prove to be foot ideal study site. Werkenheim reports that traffic in summer should be slight. The ponds are on low ground. Any pathways would be higher or people would tend to stay on old roadway. This site would be between Camp 19 where we will live in summer and museum where I will work.
