I reported to Cobirds about the Boreal Toad we encountered during our Red Cliff BBS route. Bev Baker, with the US Forest Service, asked for details, and came back with this information.
"There are two known boreal toad breeding sites near the reservoir and the adult you saw likely came from one of those. The CNHP guy has visited the pond in your photos and had not seen toads there, though he expected they should be there. As with birds, photos and reporting are appreciated and add to current knowledge!"
So -- we should keep our eyes open even for stuff without feathers; we birders visit places that don't always receive a lot of attention.
