EL Karlstom 1956 Bufo boreas March 3 Richland locality - arrived here 5:15 P.M. Day clear, sunny but with cool winds. Water level even higher than previous (Feb. 7) visit. East and south margin of pond A surveyed. Hydn lodgole2 to 18-20 mm. total length but sense. Toid louae have hatched out, and maximum size about 14-15 mm. total length. The tode are so scattered that a half dozen hatchers would be expected - yet numbers of tode not high. The rise of a few inches in pond level and some cold snaps might account for the lack of reproductive success to date in pond A. Interestingly enough, I found no egg strings at all. All corous were from swimming stage ( mm.) to 5:35 P.M. larger. No adults seen. Water 16.5° C. Air. 12.5°c. Continued search of switten rock of pond B. Shallow sedge area had 3 groups of fairly recently laid egg strings (embryos to debastula stages). One group strung out over a roughly circular area 8½-10 feet across - may be from one female. Water shallow here with a maximum depth of 4 inches. Eggs at varying depths from ½" to bottom. Water temp. 15.8° C. 1" below surface. Air above water 11.0° C. at 5:50 P.M. No hatched-out larvae seen west & south edge pond B. No adults out on land yet, although RR embankment has aboded this pond area for
