Notes
During rainy night, extraordinary amount of dead toads spotted on roads intersecting orchards. Unfortunately, many gravid females were crushed, forcing eggs onto pavement. Live toads were also seen. In cultivated areas, this toad overwhelms its counterpart, Bufo cognatus. The latter was more often encountered in undeveloped plots of land surrounding orchard. Toads were also seen at this location on April 9, 2003; May 9, 2003; and March 12, 2004.
