EL Kadetina 1955 Buffo broez April 26 is boulder-stream, a mixture of gravelly soil and rock but rock constitutes fully 80-90% of surface. Red-winged blackbirds singing in over. No adult frogs heard or seen at this time. The toads observed hugged SW edge, congregating in greatest numbers right at the edge where water 1/2" deep or less. Temp. here to 15.80 C. at 12:35 P.M. Those present out from edge tend to face up current (where current at surface runs one yard in 6-7 seconds). So far I haven't observed tadpoles or eggs elsewhere along the 200 yards of stream quickly surveyed. Although silty bottom areas are present, this stream is still a rocky-type foothill creek. Frogs were seen April 13th in all parts of the stream - deep and shallow water - although not active in the faster flowing middle channels. Toad cover in area is extensive. SW of the stream are some fenced fields, a small working yard stream with equipment and trucks, houses, etc. The NE side has heavy brush and sugar maple plus open field areas and houses behind.
