SUMMARY

The primary goal of this project was to determine the distribution, abundance and habitat
associations of the amphibian and reptile species on Craig Mountain (CM), Idaho. This study is
important because little was known about the amphibian and reptile species in the Craig Mountain area
and concern about the local and global decline of amphibian populations. Craig Mountain is a very good
area to monitor because it contains almost 50% of the total amphibian and reptile species that occur in
Idaho.

The Craig Mountain topography is characterized by a high elevation, coniferous and wet meadow
"plateau" at 5100 ft. (1555 m) with steep elevational breaks down to the Snake and Salmon Rivers at 800
ft. (244 m). Because of the many habitat associations and ecological diversity of the amphibian and
reptile species on the CM, we used a variety of sampling techniques. These included drift fences with
pitfall and funnel traps, visual surveys of ponds and streams, road driving, visual terrestrial searches, and
calling surveys.

The most important amphibian and reptile findings from the project include:

1. We found 17 species of amphibians and reptiles on CM . There were seven new Nez Perce County
and six new Lewis County records.

2. Five amphibian species and five reptile species, such as the Spotted Frog and Common Garter Snake,
were found to occur at the higher elevation habitat.

3. Five species of amphibians and nine species of reptiles, such as the Spadefoot and Western
Rattlesnake, were found at the warmer, drier low elevation sites.

4. Spotted Frogs and Long-toed salamanders were the most abundant breeding amphibians at the upper
elevation and were closely associated in breeding ponds. Spotted Frogs and Long-toed Salamanders bred
in ponds with emergent vegetation. Long-toed Salamanders also bred in slow moving areas of creeks.

5. Western Toads were the most abundant breeding amphibian along the Snake and Salmon Rivers.

6. At low elevation habitat along the Snake River, populations of Spotted Frog tadpoles were found in
two temporary ponds in July 1995.

7. Western Toads and Bullfrogs were the only amphibians found breeding in ponds with fish. Only
adult Spotted Frog were in these ponds.

8. Amphibian and reptile species of concern include: Tailed Frog (USDI-FWS Category 2 Candidate
Species for T & E Species Status, BLM sensitive species), Ringneck Snake (IDFG Species of Special
Concern and BLM sensitive species), and Spotted Frog (C2 candidate species).

9. One adult and two juvenile Bullfrogs (an introduced species) were found along the Salmon River.

10. Two isolated Tailed Frog populations with many individuals were found in old-growth Grand Fir
habitat with cold water and 75-90% canopy coverage.

11. The number of amphibian sites (including human-influenced ponds) has probably increased because
of the building of roads through meadows and draws.

12. The information gained from this project will aid land mangers in preserving amphibian and reptile
biodiversity in the Northwest. Our recommendations for future activities include:

A. Continue to survey pond and wetland sites for breeding amphibians. Also, continue
monitoring the two Tailed Frog populations (Eagle and South Fork Captain John Creek).

B. Bullfrogs should be eliminated from Craig Mountain when observed. They are an
introduced species that has the capability of altering native amphibian populations.

INTRODUCTION

The main objective of this project was to obtain information concerning the amphibian and
reptile populations on Craig Mountain. Up until 1992 Craig Mountain has been private property,
so we knew little about the distribution and relative abundance of amphibians and reptiles within
this area. Information concerning the distribution, relative abundance, and habitat associations of
amphibian and reptile species on Craig Mountain is important for four main reasons. First, such
information is needed to properly manage amphibian populations, especially sensitive species,
such as the Spotted Frog (Rana pretiosa), Tailed Frog (Ascaphus truei) and Ringneck Snake
(Diadophis punctatus), which are found on Craig Mountain. Second, information about
amphibians is important because of the decline in many populations of true frogs and true toads
in western North America. Third, some amphibians are very sensitive to pollutants, and may
serve as indicators of environmental quality (e.g., riparian areas) (Wake and Morowitz 1990).
Finally, data gathered from this project are of value in testing and refining the Idaho Gap
Analysis models for amphibian and reptiles.

The specific objectives of this study were to: (1) determine the distribution of
amphibians and reptiles, (2) estimate the relative abundance of amphibians and reptiles, (3)
determine the habitat associations of amphibian and reptiles, and (4) identify potential sites for
long-term monitoring of amphibian populations. To accomplish these objectives, we gathered
distribution, relative abundance, and habitat data using a variety of sampling techniques during
the spring and summer of 1994 and 1995. We used many sampling techniques because the
amphibian and reptile species there are diverse in their ecological requirements. For example,

METHODS O

O

o

Sources of information Q

o

By including information from several sources, wildlife surveys can be strengthened. To p

o
o

Craig Mountain, we utilized the following information. G

o

1. Published accounts - We searched published literature for accounts indicating which species Q
might have occurred on CM (e.g., Nussbaum, Brodie and Storm 1983, and Stebbins 1985). Q

2. Museum records - We searched the Northern Intermountain Herpetological Database at the „
Idaho Museum of Natural History for amphibian and reptile specimens collected from CM. This

computerized database was generated from information requested from over 100 North American

museums and Natural History collections. There were no museum records for Craig Mountain before the

study. G

o

3. Additional observations - We interviewed individuals familiar with Craig Mountain for their Q
observations of amphibians and reptiles. These individuals included Idaho Department of Fish and Game q
(IDFG) personnel, land owners, and recreational users. We also utilized incidental observations ^
collected in 1993 by an IDFG wildlife biologist. For IDFG personnel, we conducted workshops on

identifying amphibian and reptile species to increase the accuracy of contributed observations.

4.) Field surveys - during the spring and summer of 1994 and 1995, we conducted field surveys •

for amphibians and reptiles on Craig Mountain. Field surveys yield the most information concerning #

habitat associations and animal abundances, and allow for the collection of valuable incidental and Q

anecdotal information (e.g., observation of predation or potential hibernation sites) (Clark et al., 1993). Q

Craig Mountain has not been previously described in literature, so field surveys were especially £

important. q

o

Craig Mountain consists of about 60,000 acres (21,900 hectares) and is located approximately 12 Q

o

miles (19 km) south of Lewiston, Idaho (Figure 1). It is bordered by the Snake River and Hells' Canyon q

Study Area

characterized by a high elevation "plateau" 5 100 ft. (1555 m) of Grand Fir (Abies grandis) and Douglas

Fir {Pseudotsuga menziesiei) with wet meadows of Carex and Juncus spp. dispersed throughout the area.
The elevation drops steeply into breaks of native and exotic grasslands and coniferous and riparian
draws. The steep breaks end at the Snake and Salmon Rivers at 800 ft. (274 m), which is the lowest
elevational area of CM. The riverine habitat is characterized as a rocky grassland with hills that rise to
meet the basaltic cliffs and talus slopes.

Craig Mountain was purchased by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) in 1992 as partial
mitigation for wildlife habitat losses associated with the construction of Dworshak Reservoir on the
North Fork of the Clearwater River. According to agreements made between BPA, IDFG, and the Nez
Perce Tribe, wildlife managers are identifying mitigation activities and developing monitoring plans to
evaluate the effects of these proposed mitigation activities.

Site Selection

Survey site selections varied temporally and spatially depending on the individual sampling
technique. For amphibian breeding surveys, we sampled all ponds we could locate. Streams with
appropriate habitat were surveyed for Tailed Frogs. To determine other CM creeks to survey (i.e, Deer
and Maloney Creek), we studied aerial photos and talked with biologists familiar with CM. Creeks with
some canopy cover were given priority for surveying over open, dry or grazed creeks. The 1994 drift
fence design and locations were primarily selected for trapping small mammals, so reptile success rate
was low (see Cassirer 1995). But, Long-toed salamanders, Western Toads and Spotted Frogs were
successfully trapped in pitfalls in the wet meadow habitats. In 1995, for our drift fence and funnel trap
arrays, we chose representative lower elevation habitats (riparian and talus-grassland). Along the Salmon
River, at our habitat choice was limited because traps could not be exposed for fear of vandalism. Large
Carex wetlands were chosen for night calling surveys because of the quality of the habitat for treefrogs
and road logistics. Along the upper elevation, major roads were driven for night road surveys, in
conjunction with calling surveys. All drivable roads at the lower elevation habitat were sampled. In the

all species. Consequently, we used a variety of techniques, including: (1) visual searches of potential
breeding sites in still or slow-moving water; (2) searching streams for amphibians, especially Tailed

late spring, it was necessary to walk the Snake River Road instead of driving because the annual grasses ©

and reptiles. We defined a potential breeding site as a body of water that either had amphibians breeding, G

In 1995, we revisited 51 out of the 53 wetlands located in 1994, and found three additional q

#
ponds. Out of the 54 ponds, 29 are human-influenced (e.g., roads cutting through wetlands), 7 are man- _

made (private ponds, reservoirs, and stock ponds) and 18 are natural. Almost 80% of the 55 ponds occur

G

at elevations ranging from to 4100 to 5100 ft. (1250 - 1555 m). For the 1994 surveys, we sampled all •

(June or July). The number of sampling visits per site ranged from 2 to 9 visits, with an average of three
visits. All breeding site sampling occurred between 0800 and 1700 hours. For 1995 surveys, all
conditions were the same except the number of visits ranged from one to three (See Appendix A).

Physical description. During the first visit to a wetland site, we recorded locality data, elevation,
and a drawing of the general terrain. At the time of each sampling, we recorded the weather conditions
(air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, and percent cloud cover).

Most UTM coordinates were determined from topographic maps, except for a few measured with
a Trimble Basic Plus GPS receiver (Trimble, Sunnyvale, CA). We determined coordinates to within +/-
5 m about 200 readings per site, differentially corrected (base files from McCall, Idaho) and then
averaged.

Water chemistry. Also, during each visit to a locality, we measured the water temperature, pH
and conductivity. Water temperature was measured no more than 1 m from shore, at a depth of 1 cm for
approximately two minutes using a mercury thermometer. Water pH was measured with a Phep+ pocket
pH meter (Forestry Suppliers, Jackson, Mississippi) which had a resolution of 0.2 pH. Conductivity was
measured using a DiSt 3 ATC pocket dissolved solid tester (range 10-1990(lS, accuracy ±2%) (Forestry
Suppliers, Jackson, Mississippi). Both meters were calibrated every 3 to 4 days with standardized
chemical solutions. Water chemistry data for certain dates are unavailable because of some technical
difficulties with the equipment.

Biological Description. During each visit to a wetland area, we recorded information
concerning the dominant vegetation type(s), the percentage of emergent vegetation, evidence of grazing
or other human activities, and the presence of potential predators for amphibians (e.g., snakes, fish or
birds) and UTM coordinates taken at the north edge of each site. We described each site using a standard
form developed by Dr. Paul Stephen Corn of the National Biological Service (Figure 4).

The principal sampling technique for amphibians consisted of timed visual searches. We
walked in the water and/or along the shores of ponds, along the banks of streams, and through other

egg masses were unidentifiable, so we allowed them to develop in captivity until identification was

animals present, and potential amphibian predators, such as fish, snakes, and birds. We also collected

wetlands. Because adult Spotted Frogs can scare easily, we would slowly approach a pond, while @

looking. for basking frogs along the shore. We counted the total number of egg masses found, all the ©

G

of large numbers of larvae or metamorphs, we only estimated their numbers. Occasionally, tadpoles or -^

Stream Surveys q

Q

In 1994 we surveyed sections of five permanent streams that occur on Craig Mountain,
including two streams in which fish biologists found Tailed Frogs in 1993. The streams we surveyed

for amphibians included: (1) Captain John Creek- from NW of Benton Meadows south; (2) West Fork G

•
Deer Creek- from Benton Meadows to Deer Creek confluence at Larabee Meadows; (3) Eagle Creek- Q

two sections: where the creek runs parallel with Zaza Road, and where the creek meets Eagle Creek p

c

o

and (5) Wapshilla Creek- from Wapshilla ranch north for 1 mile. We visited these sites 1-2 times each, ©

o

from May through August of 1994. O

Similar to the pond surveys, we collected associated data. These data included location (UTM q

<£>

o
c

weather data as we did for the amphibian pond breeding surveys. ©

We visually searched for amphibians by walking through the stream looking into the water and Q

under stream banks. The South Fork of Captain John Creek and the lower section of Eagle Creek have a £

#

rocky substrate and cold water. We searched these areas for adult Tailed Frogs (Ascaphus truei) and their

tadpoles by turning over rocks while holding a dipnet downstream from the rocks. Tadpoles were fairly

©

easy to spot in pools. We would stop at each pool and visually estimate the number of tadpoles and •

o

o

o

8 •

measure a few of the tadpoles. All adult Tailed Frogs were measured and counted, whereas tadpole
numbers were only estimated because of their large number. Specific location of the tadpoles and adults
were not recorded with a GPS unit because the dense canopy coverage limited satellite reception.
However, the UTM coordinates of the beginning and ending locations of streams searched where frogs
were recorded from topographic maps.

The remaining creeks on the mountain were not considered Tailed Frog habitat because of their
soil substrate, canopy coverage and/or habitat characteristics. We searched these streams by walking up
the middle of the creek (when possible) and listening for adult frogs jump, and looking for Long-toed
Salamander or Spotted Frog egg masses and/or tadpoles.

In 1995, we surveyed reaches of lower Deer Creek, Maloney Creek, Cottonwood Creek and
Corral Creek. Sampling methods were similar to the 1994 surveys (See Appendix B).

Pitfall and Funnel Trapping, Coverboards

In 1994, IDFG biologists placed drift fences with pitfall trapi, a five habitat types: grassland
(Idaho fescue - blue bunch wheat grass), white alder riparian, wet meadow, Douglas fir, and grassland
invaded by yellow-star thistle. The drift fence and pitfall traps were primarily designed for small
mammals and later modified for amphibians and reptiles. There were pitfall traps at all 15 sites (3
replicates for each habitat type) and two triad trapping arrays per site. The arms of the triads began 3 m
from the center of the triad, and each arm had two #10 coffee cans buried on each end that served as the
pitfall trap. UTM coordinates were determined for each site with a Trimble Basic+ GPS receiver. For
each site, microhabitat variables (plant species, cover, distance to water, etc.) were measured once in July.
Pitfall sampling for amphibians and reptiles were conducted from April 20 - May 12, 1994, traps were
checked every 2-3 days.

After closing the pitfall traps, we attached funnel traps to 10 of the 15 sites (2 replicates per 5
habitat types). Both trapping arrays at each habitat site were used. We constructed funnel traps with fine

enough hardware cloth (1/8") to prevent the escape of small snakes. One 91 x 61 cm piece of hardware
cloth yields one trap body (61 x 55 cm), one funnel (41 x 36 cm) and a door (15 x 23 cm). Two additional
funnels measuring 41 x 37 cm were cut from pieces of hardware cloth (9 1 x 37 cm). We rolled the 6 1 x
55 cm pieces of hardware cloth into cylinders and fastened them together with 1/8" pop rivets. The 41 x
36 cm pieces were: rolled into funnels, pop riveted together, inserted into the ends of the trap bodies, and
pop riveted into place. We then cut a doorway in the top of the trap and covered the edges with duct tape
to prevent cutting ourselves or harming the animals when removing them from the trap. The door was
secured to the trap body with wire. Hooks with rubber bands tied to the wire held the door shut. In the
future, we would use elastic hair bands because they last much longer than rubberbands. A completed
trap measures approximately 95 x 17 cm, varying slightly due to variations during assembly (Jonathan
Beck pers. comm.). The traps were placed on the outside or inside end of the drift fence arms (3 per
array, 6 traps per site).

In 1994, sampling was conducted from May 12 - July 8. We checked the traps every 3-4 days. In
June, two portable drift fences (arms constructed of black plastic silt fencing) were on a Salmon River
beach and along China Creek (riparian edge habitat). Each trapping array consisted of four arms (7.5
m in length) arranged in a cross pattern. A trap was placed at the outside edge of each arm and a 19
liter bucket in the center. We sampled these arrays from June 18 to July 31, 1994. Trapping was
supplemented with coverboards (2' X 4' pieces of 3/8" plywood) placed in the center of one array per
site. Two additional coverboards were placed at Benton Meadows near Large Pond and two more were
placed in a rocky grassland habitat near the Salmon River Road.

In 1995, we set-up six portable drift fence arrays, using the same four-arm design as described
above. The six arrays were placed in two habitat types, riparian and talus rocky-grassland. Three arrays
were placed along the Snake River and three on the Salmon River. The Salmon River arrays were
opened May 26, closed July 23, and checked every 3-4 days. Two of the Snake River arrays were opened
June 15, and the other array was opened May 24. Because capture rate was low, we temporarily closed

10

all 3 arrays from July 10-20. We reopened the traps on July 20, and permanently closed them on July 29.
The two remaining coverboards from 1994 (Benton Meadows, Salmon River) were also checked
periodically (See Appendix C).

Road Driving

In 1994, on some spring days following a rain, Llewellyn drove many of the roads on Craig
Mountain. These include: Waha Road, Soldiers Meadow Road, Deer Creek Road, 540 Road, Salmon
River Road and a section of the Snake River Road between the mouth of Madden Creek and Billy Creek
at night to observe and record amphibians and reptiles. In 1995, road driving was only conducted on the
Snake River and Salmon River Roads (See Appendix D).

Calling Surveys

During night road driving surveys, Llewellyn would also stop at wetland and pond areas to
listen for calling treefrogs. This was the most effective sampling technique for this species. An
acoustic monitoring system (FrogLogger) was set-up at Benton Meadows in April to record calling
frogs, but the tape recorder did not function properly because of the low temperatures. A Campbell
Scientific CR 10 datalogger was placed at the Large Pond in Benton Meadows to measure air, soil, and
water temperatures. We did not conduct calling surveys and road driving at the upper elevation habitat
in the spring of 1995, but did conduct summer road drives several times along the Salmon River Road
(See Appendix D).

Terrestrial Surveys

In 1995, we conducted several terrestrial surveys in areas not sampled in 1994. In particular,
the grassland breaks along the Snake River and beach habitat along the rivers. Surveys entailed
walking along a road or trail visually searching for animals and turning over rocks and logs. We

11

documented our start and end time, and note the animals encountered. Animal measurements were
taken when possible (See Appendix D for data).

Incidental Observations

We compiled all incidental observations of amphibians and reptiles on Craig Mountain for the
1993, 1994 and 1995 field seasons. Frances Cassirer collected the 1993 observations from IDFG and
Nature Conservancy personnel. Contributors of the 1994 and 1995 sightings included: IDFG, Lewis
and Clark State College, and Idaho State University personnel (See Appendix E).

Mapping

We used PC ARC-INFO and Arc-View 2.1 for Windows (Environmental Systems Research
Institute, Inc., Redlands, CA) to generate dot-distribution maps of the CM amphibian and reptile
species observed during 1994 and 1995. We also generated a map to show the location of the 55 ponds
and amphibian species found breeding in them, and maps showing the location of all amphibian and
reptile sightings in 1993 and 1994. To obtain coordinates for the roads on these maps, we used a 36" x
48" CalComp 9500 digitizing table (CalComp, Scottsdale, AZ) and Sigmascan software (Jandel
Scientific, Inc., San Rafael, CA).

Several steps were required to prepare maps of the amphibian and reptile observations from the
1994 and 1995 field surveys. While in the field, we marked the locations of pond locations on copies
of USGS 7.5 minute series topographic maps (Frye Point, Waha, Rattlesnake Ridge, Hoover Point,
Limekiln Rapids, Winchester West, and Wapshilla Creek). The maps were scanned in as 16-color
halftone images at 180 dpi with normal sharpening, and saved as TIFF files. The TTFF files were then
imported into Corel Draw 4.0 (Corel Corporation, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). We added the site
numbers and abbreviations for the amphibian and reptile species observed, and then printed the maps
with an Epson Color Stylus printer at 360 dpi.

Statistical Analysis

The Fisher's Exact Test was used to test 2x2 contingency tables ( a = 0.05) (Zar 1984) for Western
Toads, Spotted Frogs, Long-toed Salamanders, and Pacific Treefrogs, comparing their occurrence with four
variables that might affect amphibian distributions. These variables included: (1) the presence or absence of
fish, (2) occurrence in non-natural versus natural ponds, (3) ponds at high and low elevation levels and (4)
species co-occurring together in ponds. This statistical test was used instead of Chi-square because many of
the expected frequencies were less than 5 per cell. We also analyzed the species co-occurrence for just the
43 upper elevation ponds because only one amphibian species was found breeding at 90% of the low
elevation riverine ponds (See Appendix F).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Visual inspection of Stebbin's (1985) range maps indicate that 2 1 species of amphibians and reptiles
possibly occur on or around the Craig Mountain area. Out of these 21 species, we found 17 species (7
amphibians, and 10 reptiles) (Table 1). This constitutes 47% of the total number of amphibians and reptiles that
occur in Idaho. Three species of amphibian and one species of reptile that occur on CM are listed as Species of
Special Concern (Conservation Data Center 1994). A diverse assemblage of vegetation types, and amphibian
and reptile species are supported on Craig Mountain because of the wide elevational range in topography.

Distribution

Spatial Distribution

Because of the lack of relative habitat along the steep elevational breaks, amphibians were unevenly
distributed with the majority occurring at the upper elevations. Specifically the Spotted Frog and Long-toed
Salamander, which mostly occurred at these higher and cooler habitats. (Fig. 5). Arc-View dot-distribution

Long-toed Salamanders (Ambystoma macrodactylwri) were also found breeding above 4 1 00 ft.( 1 250

requirements. Eggs and tadpoles were found in ponds along the Snake and Salmon Rivers, upper elevation

ponds, and at Soldiers Meadow Reservoir. Three additional sightings of adult toads were made in 1995 along

Maloney Creek, Lower Deer Creek, and Webb Creek. Also in 1995, toad tadpoles were located at the South C

Section 27 Pond in Lewis County. This is a new county record for Lewis County. The South Section 27 Pond q

is a productive permanent pond with four breeding amphibian species and two species of garter snake present. q

From the 1994 calling surveys, we found that Pacific Treefrogs {Pseudacris regilla) occur in many of
the wet meadows at the upper elevation habitat . We found eggs and tadpoles only above 3600 ft. (1096 m) but

o

heard calling treefrogs along the Snake River at 900 ft. (274 m). In 1995, we located 10 new treefrog breeding
sites at Benton Meadows and Larabee Meadows. We found no significance for treefrogs preferring the upper
elevation habitat compared to the grassland breaks and riverine habitat, but may be due to small sample size.

In 1994, Spotted Frogs (Rana pretiosa) were only found breeding in ponds at elevations above 4100 ft
(1200 m) (N = 23, P< .05) (Table 6 ). In late July of 1995, while doing visual encounter surveys, two ponds
with Spotted Frog tadpoles were located along the side channel of Limekiln Rapids on the Snake River. One
pond had approximately 50 and the other 200 tadpoles, respectively. This sighting was not expected by us, nor
predicted by Gap Analysis models. Data, pictures, and voucher specimens of the Snake River tadpoles are
located at the Idaho Museum of Natural History at Idaho State University. In creeks, adult Spotted Frogs were
found in Lower Deer, Eagle, Captain John, and Maloney Creek. We hypothesize that Spotted Frogs use these
creeks for foraging, resting, and dispersing but not breeding because of the lack of appropriate habitat.

Because of the rocky habitat and warm temperatures, the distribution of most reptiles were closely
associated with habitat below 2000 ft. (610 m) (Figure 13). Dot-distribution maps for the reptile species are
shown on Figures 14-23. Racers {Coluber constrictor), and Gopher Snakes (Pituophis catenifer) were found
up to 4000 ft. (1220 m) on Wapshilla Ridge and down to 800 ft. (610 m) along the rivers. The Western
Terrestrial Garter Snake (Thamnophis elegans) was found in high elevation ponds and along the Snake and
Salmon Rivers. Even though we suspect that Common Garter Snakes {Thamnophis sirtalis) occur along both
rivers, we only found them at elevations above 3200 ft. (976 m), and closely associated with water. Rubber
Boas {Charina bottae) were found at elevations ranging from 2440-4200 ft (744-1280 m). We also suspect that
they occur along the Snake River on Craig Mountain, because of their presence directly across from Craig
Mountain, on the west side of the river (personal communication, Hells Canyon National Recreation Area). In
1994, a Night Snake {Hypsiglena torquata) was found along the Salmon River while doing visual encounter
surveys. In 1995, we located two more Night Snakes along the Salmon River. These are new records for CM
and have expanded the range of this species. These sightings suggest that the Night Snake also occurs in Hells
Canyon. A Ringneck Snake {Diadophis punctatus) was reported in 1993 by an IDFG biological technician.

15

The snake was sighted in a grassy talus slope along the Salmon River, but the sighting is unconfirmed. Despite
our efforts, we did not locate this species in 1994 or 1995. We speculate that the Ringneck Snake occurs along
the Snake River of CM because of the three sightings along on the west side of the Snake River (personal
communication, Hells Canyon National Recreation Area). The west side river sightings of both the Rubber Boa
and Ringneck Snake occurred at the USFS, Hells Canyon National Recreation Area station along the Oregon
and Washington border of the Snake River.

Temporal Distribution

Amphibian species distribution and activity varied with time as wetland habitats changed during the
spring and summer. Yearly variation of precipitation also influenced the distribution of amphibians. For
example, 1995 was a wetter year than 1994, so water in the ponds remained higher, later into the summer.
Usually at the upper elevation, April and May were peak months for locating amphibian egg masses and
tadpoles in ponds and wetlands. June and July were peak months to find breeding amphibians at the lower
elevation ponds.

Long-toed Salamanders. From what we observed, Long-toed Salamanders were the earliest
amphibians to breed, with the majority of eggs being laid between April 1 to May 1 (Figure 24). In the Pullman,
Washington area they have been known to breed as early as February (Paul Verrell, pers. coram.). Egg masses
were found in Eagle Creek in early June 1994 (water temperature = 16°C). Larvae were found from May
through July (Figure 25). Overall, adult Long-toed Salamanders were found from April 3 through May 20.

Western Toads. In 1994, all Western Toad eggs at the upper elevation sites were laid by May 6. In
comparison, egg masses were found from June 16 to July 12 in the riverine ponds. In 1995, egg masses at the
upper elevation were laid around the same time as 1994, but not along the river ponds. We did not observe toad
tadpoles or adults along the Salmon and Snake River until the water level receded in mid-July (Figs. 26 and 27).
We noticed in 1995 that within a few days of the river ponds being formed, eggs were laid or adults were
observed (Fig. 28).

16

Pacific Treefrogs. The majority of treefrog egg masses and tadpoles were found in April and May at
the upper elevation. We observed no egg masses along the riverine habitat. Adult treefrogs were observed only
in April for both years surveyed (Fig. 29). No calling surveys were conducted in 1995, so all of the calling data
is for 1994. Treefrogs were heard calling in early April at Benton Meadows both in 1994 and 1995, and in 1994
at Deer Creek and Kruze Meadows (Fig. 30). They were also heard calling in early June 1994 along the Snake
River between Captain John and Billy Creek.

Spotted Frogs. Spotted Frogs were also early breeders on Craig Mountain (Figure 3 1). All egg masses
were located in palustrine-type ponds from early April to early May. Adult frogs could be located throughout
the spring and summer (Figure 32), and their distribution changed as the summer progressed. In June of 1994,
the upper elevation temporary ponds dried up and Spotted Frogs began to concentrate at several of the
permanent ponds (e.g., Robert's Spring, Large Frye Point, and Benton Meadows Large Pond). During the 1995
season, most of the temporary ponds remained full throughout June because of the increased precipitation. We
observed more temporary "roadside" ponds in spring of 1995 than of 1994, so it is possible that Spotted Frogs
were distributed wider on the mountain because of the increased habitat.

Reptiles - Along the lower elevation areas, reptiles could be seen more in late spring and early summer
than late summer. As summer temperatures increased along the rivers and grassland breaks, reptiles became
harder to locate. In contrast, we could find garter snakes and Rubber Boas in August at the upper elevation
riparian areas. The air temperature during the summer in the upper elevation habitat hardly every reaches above
90° F (34° C), compared to the lower elevation riverine habitat which has been known to reach up to 1 15° F
(46° C) (personal observation).

Relative Abundance

Long-toed Salamanders. Long-toed Salamanders (LTS) were the only salamander located, and were
fairly abundant on Craig Mountain. Their abundance was tied to temporary ponds and slow moving creeks at
the upper elevation habitat. In 1994, we found LTS breeding in 23 ponds and six sites in two creeks. All but

17

three adult salamander observations were from pitfall traps in wet meadows. Out of these three, two were found
under a coverboard put out in 1993 at the Benton Meadows ponds. The other salamander was found under a log
in the water at Benton Meadows Large (BML) Pond. In 1995 while doing terrestrial surveys, EDFG's non-game
biologists located 19 adult salamanders between April 13, and May 8. Out of the five adult salamanders
observed at the BML Pond, four were located underneath the same coverboard.

During the entire 1995 field season, 29 LTS breeding sites were found on Craig Mountain. Long-toed
Salamanders bred in large quantities (>500 egg masses) at Benton Meadows Large Pond. The salamanders laid
hundreds of egg masses across the barbed wire that was strung across the width of the pond. The wire increased
the surface area for egg attachment. In early June of 1995 at Robert's Spring Pond, a large LTS larvae with legs
was caught while dipnetting. Because this larvae was too large to have hatched in 1995, we believe that it
overwintered as a larvae.

Western Toads. Adult Western Toads were more abundant along the riverine ponds than at the upper
elevation ponds. On June 16, 1994, at the Peninsula Beach Pond along the Snake River, we counted 33 adult
toads during peak breeding season. In 1995 at the same pond, it was not until July 23 that we located 15 adult
toads during peak breeding. At the upper elevation ponds, we never saw more than five adults at one time.

Pacific Treefrogs. Pacific Treefrogs were locally abundant in the wet meadows at the upper elevation.
In 1994, six breeding ponds and three adult treefrogs were observed or heard vocally during pond surveys. In
1995, a total of ten breeding ponds and 16 adults were either seen or heard at ponds. Also, at one unknown
roadside pond and three known ponds, treefrog tadpoles were present that were not present in 1994. More
temporary ponds were formed in 1995 because of the large amount of precipitation. Our pond surveys at
Larabee Meadows and Benton Meadows suggest that treefrogs are locally common in most of the wet meadows
on CM.

Spotted Frogs. The the most commonly observed amphibian species on Craig Mountain was the
Spotted Frog (Figure 33). This is not to say that Spotted Frogs were the most abundant amphibian, just that we
were able to observe more Sported Frogs. In 1994, over 280 Spotted Frog adults and 23 pond breeding sites

18

were found at the upper elevation sites. Only adult Spotted Frogs were seen at Captain John, Deer, and Eagle
Creek. In 1995, 166 Spotted Frog adults and 25 breeding sites were located. At the Channel Pond at Benton
Meadows, the number of Spotted Frog egg masses was significantly less in 1995 than in 1994 (50 and 18
respectively). We cannot conclude whether this decrease was caused from a reduced number of breeding adults
or environmental factors.

Reptiles. Racers were the most abundant reptile observed along the lower elevation river habitats.
with Western Rattlesnakes being the second most encountered snake (Fig. 34). Western Terrestrial Garter
Snakes were the most abundant snake at the higher elevation sites. Most sightings of Western Terrestrial and
Common Garter snakes were in or around ponds that had Carex surrounding the waters edge. We also saw
seven Western Terrestrial Garter Snakes while doing stream surveys along Upper Eagle Creek and South Fork
Captain John Creek and along the edges of both the Snake and Salmon River. Three Night Snakes were found
along the Salmon River.

Survey Technique Evaluation

The most effective survey technique for finding amphibians and reptiles was terrestrial surveys in
appropriate habitat and time (Table 2). Pitfall traps in wet meadows were successful in trapping adult and
juvenile Long-toed Salamanders and adult Western Toads and a couple of Spotted Frogs. The 1994 metal
flashing drift fences with funnel traps only caught one Racer. This could possibly be due to trapping design.
The trap placement in the five habitat types was chosen primarily for small mammals, so suitability for
reptiles was questionable. We also had initial problems with trap construction. In June of 1994, two
portable drift fences (Night Snake and China Ck arrays) were placed where we thought reptiles would occur,
and we succeeded in catching three species of snakes and two juvenile fence lizards. The Night Snake trap
array along the Salmon River beach was near a Western Toad breeding pond and caught 10 adult toads as
they traveled along the beach. Calling surveys at night were most effective for hearing treefrogs in wet
meadows, and night road driving turned up many Western Toads in early spring. It was possible to see adult

19

Western Toads while doing visual searches around ponds, but timing was critical. Within a year, it was
easier to locate adult toads along the rivers than at the upper elevation ponds because of their breeding
synchronization with the receding water levels and pond formation. Once the river ponds formed, toads
would almost immediately begin to gather. Upper elevation ponds were more variable because there was no
environmental cue by which toads would use to begin breeding. The timing from pond to pond was variable,
so the chance of observing adults was not as favorable.

Coverboards were a successful technique for finding salamanders and fence lizards, if they are put in
appropriate places and allowed to "season" for a year. The extra year may allow a microenvironment to be
created underneath the board that new boards do not have. For example, in 1994 we placed two new
coverboards at Benton Meadows, but only found salamanders under the 1993 coverboard. In 1995,
salamanders were found under the coverboards put out in 1993 and 1994 at Benton Meadows.

Amphibian Habitat Relationships

Wetland Associations

During the 1994-1995 surveys, we located a total of 54 ponds on Craig Mountain (Figure 35).
Topographic maps for all of the ponds showing their location and the species breeding are located in Figures 37-
51. All of the ponds are above 4100 ft. (1,414 m) except for 13 that are along the Snake and Salmon Rivers. At
the South Section 27 Pond and Benton Meadows Large Pond, a pair of ducks were present both summers. The
S. Section 27 Pond also had several red-winged blackbirds nesting in the cattails both summers.

We classified the aquatic sites into four wedand types (riverine ponds, meadow ponds, forest ponds and
streams) and graphed the number of amphibian breeding sites found for each wetland type (Figure 36). Wet
meadows and forest ponds had the most diverse amphibian assemblage, with the four species of pond-dwelling
amphibians breeding in them. According to the wedand classification scheme designed by Cowardin et. al.,
(1979), which recognizes three distinct wedand systems (i.e., palustrine, lacustrine, and riverine), the majority of
the ponds were palustrine (Appendix A).

20

Conductivity, pH and water temperature readings were taken throughout the spring and summer in
all ponds. No relationship was found to exist between amphibians choosing breeding sites and the chemical
readings or the water temperature, but we noted that these readings increased as the summer progressed and
water levels decreased.

Long-toed Salamanders. These salamanders typically chose ponds to breed in that had emergent
vegetation or structures to attached their eggs (n=3 1). Only once in both years of sampling did we observe
LTS eggs laid like a string of pearls in the Benton Meadows Channel Pond. We are positive of their
identification because we took back several eggs and hatched them. In 1994, Long-toed Salamanders eggs
were also found in four oxbows and slow moving areas of Captain John Creek and five areas in Upper Eagle
Creek near the ghost town of Zaza. When we found the Eagle Creek eggs in June they were still developing.
The water temperature was only 16° C and habitat was shady, with 80-95% canopy coverage. The cool
environmental conditions must have slowed down larval development.

Long-toed salamanders were more likely to be found breeding in human-influenced ponds compared
to natural ponds (P< .05) (Table 7). Natural ponds at the upper elevation habitats, were either associated
with wet meadows or are attached to a creek system. These habitats did not have shallow areas and/or
emergent vegetation for egg mass attachment.

Tailed Frogs Tailed frogs were found in two mountain streams (Eagle Creek and S. Fork Captain
John Creek). These streams were the only streams that had a cobble substrate, high canopy coverage of Gra. a
Fir, and cold running water. We found over 50 adults and over 100 tadpoles in Eagle Creek. We noticed that
Tailed frog numbers dwindled when the substrate changed from a predominantly rocky to a substrate to a
heavy gray-colored clay with few small cobbles. The South Fork of Captain John Creek also had over 100
tadpoles and over 10 adult frogs. The frog population on this creek ended at a 15 m high waterfall.

Western Toads Western Toads were the most diverse amphibian in their breeding habitat. They
were the most abundant amphibian that bred in the lower elevation riverine ponds. Toads were found
breeding in a natural pond that is part of a tributary of Deer Creek. Egg masses were also found in the slow

21

moving oxbows and shallow areas of this same creek (< 15 cm deep). The habitat is a wet, open meadow
system with the vegetation mainly consisting of sedges and grasses.

In 1994, egg-masses and tadpoles were found in China Creek Mudhole Pond, a small temporary
pond (1 m2), approximately 1/4 mi. from the Salmon River. It was formed when a rut in the road filled with
water when a small area of China Creek overflowed. China Creek is a tributary of the Salmon River, so it
may provide a corridor for traveling toads. Egg masses were laid on the shallow mud bottom with grass and
small sedges bordering the pond. In 1995, we observed no water in this pond (rut).

From our observations, toads were more likely to be found in natural ponds compared to human-
influenced and man-made ponds (P < .05) (Table 7). This could be attributed the high number of toads
breeding at the riverine ponds.

Because of water fluctuations along the Snake and Salmon Rivers, Western Toad eggs were not
observed until early June and mid-July. On three occasions between June 16 and July 22, 1994 while
surveying the Snake and Salmon River, we found over 20 male toads in four ponds. The males either rested
quietly at the water's surface or swam vigorously toward other males. They were giving frequent bird-like
twittering calls, which seemed to be in response to nearness or actual touching by another male during the
breeding time (Nussbaum, Brodie and Storm 1983). Only once did we observe a pair of toads amplexing at
the upper elevation ponds even though we visited these ponds more than the lower ponds.

Pacific Treefrogs We located six treefrog breeding sites in human-influenced ponds and one site in
a shallow mudhole near Zaza (Culvert Pond). Adult frogs were difficult to find, but tadpoles were easily
found, especially in small ponds. For 1994 and 1995, the Redbird Road Pond had a large population (>1000)
of treefrog tadpoles co-occurring with Long-toed Salamanders, and Common and Western Terrestrial Garter
Snakes. We found no statistical significance for treefrogs using one type of pond over the other to breed.
We did hear over 10 treefrogs calling in wet meadows, but it is unknown whether they were actively
breeding or not.

22

Spotted Frogs Spotted Frogs were found breeding in only palustrine-type ponds. These ponds
ranged in diameter from l-m2to approximately 100-m2. Most of the ponds were created by human activities
that include development of springs to create ponds, and damming or alteration of streams by roads and
culverts (Cassirer 1995). Spotted frogs were not found breeding in ponds that either had no emergent
vegetation, were populated with fish, or did not have a shallow shoreline for eggs to develop. Only adults
were present in these types of habitats. A Carex wet-meadow system did have one egg mass but it was
located closest to the road near the culvert where clean water flowed in, and cows did not have access. This
meadow is heavily grazed. There is a pond in this meadow but no amphibians were found to be breeding in
it. It is abundant with algae and the substrate is dark and muddy, but has the potential of being a productive
pond.

In 1994, Spotted frogs were more likely to be found in human-influenced ponds than natural ponds
(P<.05) (Table 8). In July of 1995, we located two natural ponds in the Limekiln Rapids side channel of the
Snake River. Each pond had 100-300 Spotted Frog tadpoles. These two ponds are part of a series of ponds
that form when the Snake River recedes, thereby creating a large side channel. As the channel recedes, it
leaves ponds dispersed throughout the length. This was a surprising observation because it was not predicted
by us or the Gap Analysis models. We considered the elevation too low for Spotted Frogs.

Reptile Habitat Relationships

Craig Mountain is diverse in elevation and habitat, and consequently provides habitat for many
species of reptiles. The warmer low elevation habitat (i.e., grassland, columnar basalt cliffs, riparian draws,
and hackberry trees) attract certain animals, whereas the upper elevation habitat (coniferous forest complex,
wet meadows) attract others. Still, some species occur over the entire range of elevations. For example, with
the CM reptiles, fence lizards, rattlesnakes, Night Snakes and a Ringneck Snake were observed only in the
lower habitat, in comparison to Common Garter Snakes and Rubber Boas which were observed only at the
upper elevation habitat. Interestingly, Racers and Gopher Snakes and Western Terrestrial Garter Snakes

23

were seen along Wapshilla Ridge at 5000 ft. ( 1524 m) down to the Snake and Salmon Rivers. Western
Skinks could be found along the rivers and on talus slopes in the riparian draws of the grassland breaks
around 3200 ft. ( 976 m). Racers were mostly observed moving in grassland-type habitats.

The individual habitats that the 10 reptile species inhabit also varied. For example, the two lizard
species found on Craig Mountain were observed in different habitats. Western Fence Lizards were usually
found basking on rocks or pieces of driftwood along the Salmon River beaches. In comparison, Western
Skinks were more secretive and frequently found under rocks on talus slopes. A skink was also caught in a
1994 pitfall trap along Madden Creek Road, in a yellow-star thistle and balsamroot habitat.

While visually searching the Salmon River beaches we found three snake species (Night Snake,
Gopher Snake and Western Rattlesnake) hiding under driftwood. On a cool, cloudy morning in June 1994
on a Salmon River beach, a Night Snake was found underneath a small piece of driftwood.

In 1995 along the Salmon River, two more Night Snakes were located. One was underneath a piece
of driftwood on the beach. The habitat characteristics are the same as the previous sighting in 1994 and
approximately 0.5 mile (800 m) from the 1994 sighting. The other Night Snake was caught in the funnel trap
along the Salmon River. The drift fence array was located in an annual grassland and basalt talus-slope hills
area, approximately 200 ft. ( 60 m) from the river.

In 1993, a Ringneck Snake was sighted in a rocky, brushy slope along the Salmon River Road,
approximately 200 feet from the beach.

For both years of drift fence and funnel trap data in riparian areas along the lower elevation, we
caught Racers, Gopher Snake Western Rattlesnakes, and fence lizards. In the drier more open habitat along
the rivers we caught Racers, a Night Snake, Western Rattlesnakes, fence lizards, Gopher Snakes, and
Western Toads.

24

Amphibians and Fish

While doing visual surveys at ponds and wetlands, we recorded the presence or absence of fish. We
observed that several of the ponds at the upper elevation (Webb Creek, Soldiers Meadow, and Larabee Dam)
and most of the ponds in the riverine habitat were inhabited by fish. Western Toads were the only amphibian
we observed breeding in upper and lower elevation ponds with fish (Figure 52). Two non-breeding juveniles
and one adult Bullfrog were also found in a small channel (Peninsula Pond) along the Salmon River that was
inhabited by carp. Our statistical analysis for all ponds showed that Western Toads were more likely to be
found in ponds with fish than without fish (P< .05) (Table 8). Previous studies (Voris and Bacon 1966),
have shown that Bufo tadpoles may be distasteful to fish predators.

From our observations, Spotted Frogs and Long-toed Salamanders were more likely to be found
breeding in ponds without fish than in ponds with fish (P<.05) (Table 8). At some of the aquatic sites with
fish, only adult Spotted Frogs were located. These sites included: Webb Creek Pond, Larabee Dam, Eagle
Creek and lower Deer Creek. We found no statistical difference in Pacific Treefrogs favoring ponds with or
without fish. It is noteworthy that Spotted Frogs and Long-toed Salamanders were found breeding in the
adjoining wet meadow of Larabee Dam. This area was inaccessible to fish.

Co-occurrence

Because the occurrence of one species of amphibian may influence the occurrence of other
amphibian species, we examined the relationships among pond dwelling amphibian species. We calculated
the number and percentage of sites at which zero to four species were detected (Clark et al. 1993). To
determine the probability of finding a particular species at a specific site (based on the presence of another
species), we calculated the probabilities of species co-occurrences for 1994 and 1995 (Table 3). The
numbers include ponds with breeding as well as just adult amphibian sightings. For example, Table 3
indicates that if Spotted Frogs were found at a specific site, there would be a high probability (83%) of
finding a Long-toed Salamander and a low probability (12%) of finding a Western Toad.

2. The Great Basin Spadefoot and Night Snake are two new records for Craig Mountain. The sightings of ©

these species suggest that they also occur in Hells Canyon and along the lower Snake River. #

1. Amphibians and reptiles were unevenly distributed throughout Craig Mountain, with most amphibian
species (5 out of 7) occurring at the higher elevations and most reptiles (7 out of 9) occurring at the lower
elevations.

4. The peak amphibian breeding months at the upper elevation aquatic sites occur in April and May. Peak
breeding at the low riverine ponds occur in June and July.

6. Out of all of the survey techniques employed in 1994 and 1995, visual searches were the most successful
technique in detecting most amphibians and reptiles.

7. Western Toads were the most widespread breeding amphibian within the elevation levels and within
wetland-types.

8. Western Toads were also the only pond dwelling amphibian found breeding with fish.

Future Monitoring and Management Recommendations

Craig Mountain is a large and diverse habitat full of wet meadows dispersed throughout the open
forest. Many species of amphibians of reptiles occur in this area, some of them sensitive or species of special
concern. To better understand species distributions and habitat requirements more thoroughly, it will be
important to gather long-term data. Long-term monitoring and surveys are the main tools we have for
assuring the existence of amphibians and reptiles in the future.

3. Two temporary ponds with Spotted Frog tadpoles were located at Limekiln Rapids along the Snake River. Q

1 .) Monitoring the Bullfrog population along the Salmon River will be important because it is an exotic species G
and a predator on native amphibians. The current population of Bullfrogs on CM may be low enough that with

continual monitoring, expansion of the population could be curtailed. In addition, an unlimited bag limit on £

hunting Bullfrogs might also help control the population. •

2.) Do not introduce fish into ponds that are important breeding grounds for amphibians (i.e., Robert's Spring).
Fish introductions have been correlated with the extermination of native amphibians in the Northwest.
Spotted Frogs, Long-toed Salamanders, and Pacific Treefrogs were found breeding in 1994 and 1995 Ln
Robert's Spring. If fish are introduced into this pond, these species will most likely disappear because of their
vulnerability to predation by fish..

One alternative would be to create adjacent wetlands that are shallow enough for amphibians to breed
in, but fish cannot access. An example is Larabee Dam and its adjacent wetland (Dam- 1 pond). In this pond.
Spotted Frogs and Long-toed Salamanders were successful in breeding because the fish in Larabee Dam could
not get to this small pond. The Carex was dense enough and water level low enough that fish were excluded.

3.) Monitor the Western Toad population in the upper elevation ponds. Upper elevation ponds could be
vulnerable to environmental or anthropogenic changes. The monitoring would be done in conjunction with the
yearly amphibian breeding surveys.

4.) Due to the time constraints and large study area, it would be impossible to survey all of the upper of the
upper elevation ponds every spring. There are approximately 44 ponds along the upper elevation area These
could be broken up into three groups and surveys rotated every year. Ideally, surveys should be conducted at
least once a week from April 1 through May 15.

5.) Protect the isolated populations of Tailed Frogs, especially South Fork of Caption John Creek. Because
this population is isolated, recolonization would be unlikely. In addition, it would be beneficial to restrict
activities that have the capability of altering the habitat (i.e., increase siltation, nutrients, and water
temperature), and reducing habitat quality for Tailed Frogs.

6.) If any future stream surveys are conducted, document any new Tailed Frog or Idaho Giant Salamander
sighting. The more information we have on the status of Tailed Frogs on Craig Mountain, the better we can
manage this former C2 species.

7.) Grazing does not seem to be a large concern for the health of most of the ponds. There is one privately
owned meadow that has the potential to be good amphibian breeding habitat, but cows actively graze the
meadow and cause the water in the pond to be polluted. A potential project to see would be to fence off the
pond to cows and document the recolonization of breeding amphibians. Adult Spotted Frogs have been seen in
the adjacent wet meadows, but appropriate habitat is lacking.

For logistic support, we would like to thank Bill Rybarczyk Steve Nadeau and all of the other £

employees at Idaho Dept. of Fish & Game who provided assistance. Funding was provided by the Bureau of
Land Management, National Fish & Wildlife Foundation, Potlatch Corp., and Idaho State University. We also
thank Frances Cassirer (IDFG), Bill Wall (Potlatch), and Craig Johnson (BLM) for arranging the financial
support. The field assistance of Kris Singer, Doug Gomez, Brad Blackwelder, and Hallie Henderson was very •

helpful. We also thank Dr. Fred Rabe at University of Idaho for the aquatic invertebrate data in some of the 9

ponds. Many thanks to Paul Bartelt for his guidance through PC ARC-INFO. Finally, we would especially #

like to thank Frances Cassirer, without whose support of this project would not have been possible. £

Figure 52. A comparison of the number of amphibian species who occurred in ponds with
and without warm water fish. In 1994, only adult Spotted Frogs were observed in ponds
with fish. In 1995, Spotted Frog tadpoles were located in a Snake River pond that we
assumed to have fish because of its close proximity to the river.

1995 Stream Surveys

7/1 4/95 Deer Creek

start- 1400 end- 1600
clear, calm, 80's.

Robin Llewellyn, JJ.Teare, Cindy Hanson, Charlie Anderson, Hallie Henderson drove
down to an old homestead, the Piatt Ranch, located at lower Deer Creek. We went down with a
father and son who know the area and could possibly give me a little information about the stream.
It took us 5 hours to drive there from Black Pine Campground because of the many downed trees.

We went exploring on the creek above the homestead. Because we didn't do a complete
survey today, we will do one tomorrow. The creek is a series of very large boulder cascades and
waterfalls. We stopped at the first waterfall and looked into a mine shaft. It was so cold inside the
shaft that you could see your breath. Water temp was probably close to 6-1 0 C. We did not find
any amphibians.

7/15/95 Deer Creek

start-0900 end-1 330

Started the survey where the trail crosses Deer Creek, just upstream from the homestead.
Canopy coverage ranges from 0-30% slope. Stream vegetation includes Red Alder, Cottonwood.
There is Ponderosa Pine along the canyon borders, but not near the stream. RAPR sitting on a
large rock in the middle of a partly-shady boulder riffle. Little splashes from the riffle above, would
occasionally hit the frog. I took two pictures.

1 300- Came to an large rock cliff that we can't get past. The area bottlenecks into rock cliffs. This
area has large boulders and large cobbles for substrate, not much sand, pebbles or small rocks.
Water is moving very fast. It is a constant cascading boulder riffle. No glides and only a couple of
pools. The creek branches a couple times into smaller creeks, 100-200 ft. long.

We did not find any other amphibians or reptiles. A CRVI was seen on the road where the road
crosses the creek. A BUBO was seen on the road that night, approx. 1/2 mile south of the IDFG
gate.

1430- Starting a survey down a forested tributary of Deer Creek. Good canopy coverage 60-90%,
but there is no water running. Large Douglas Fir trees, quite a few are downed covering the creek.
Ground cover- Ribes, monkshood, and thimbleberry. Even at the mouth of the tributary, there is no
running water. We walked a few hundred feet upstream Deer Creek, Doug Fir and Ponderosa Pine
along the upper slopes, but not influencing the stream. Stream vegetation includes- Mock-orange,
Red Alder and a Salix spp. The area flattens out and becomes more sandy and pebbles. It looks
as though downstream from the tributary is steep and rocky. Canopy coverage of Deer Creek- 20-
30%.

7/1 6/95 Deer Creek

Drove out of the Piatt Ranch to check the upper part of Deer Creek

1 1 00-1 300 Parked on a dirt road that parallels the creek. Potlatch used to own this area, but now
belongs to the Nez Perce. Cows and people have really trashed this area. It is a second growth
coniferous upland with an open and flat riparian area. We parked and walked downstream turning
over rocks and visually looking. Canopy coverage- 0-20%. Water flows at a constant riffle with
pools formed after a small cascade riffle. Lots of crayfish. Water is slightly cloudy with a thin silt
covering the rocks. A lot more sediment than downstream. The banks are gravely with small
beaches. Stream width- 8-1 0 ft. There is a well worn foot path paralleling the stream. We walked
this until the stream ended at a cliff at least 50 ft. high. We were not able to see the bottom of the
falls.

1 300 Drove to the top of another tributary on the East side of Deer Creek. According to the
topographic map, it is the first one below the large waterfall. The area has been nuked by cows
and logging. Canopy Coverage was 0%. Vegetation in the draw included Bracken Fern, Ribes
and Rosa spp.

There is no running water, and all of the trees have been cut from the draw. We walked only a
couple hundred feet down because of the condition of the habitat. The chance of finding a Tailed
frog in there would be virtually impossible. Also, the aerial photo shows the draw having an open
canopy coverage. On 8/04 we did not find the mouth of this tributary There was no good sign
indicating were it came in.

8/04/95 Deer Creek

start- 1200 end- 1500

clear, no breeze, 90's.

water temp was a constant 24° C, until we got about 200 yards away from the large waterfall and it

changed to 22°C.

We started at the tributary we stopped at last trip. From the mouth of this tributary, we walked
upstream about 200 yds. from the first waterfall. Overall, the creek is a fairly constant riffle with
shallow steps (>1 ft.) and small glides ( 1-5 fet. in length).
Canopy coverage ranges from 1 0-40% .

Substrate- Ig. cobble and small boulder substrate. Over 80% of the rocks around small riffle-
cascades and shallow glides are covered with mosses and jelly-like eggs?, plants? growing in
areas where water is rushing past. Because this growth covers the rocks, it reduces the feeding
habitat for tadpoles. I think the high water temperature and high sunlight exposure enhances
stream vegetation to grow prolificly.

We encountered a huge log jam that could act as a fish barrier. It almost looks like a
downed bridge and other trees got caught on it during high water. The barrier has been there quite
a few years because a sand/silt beach has formed on the other side, and there is a height
difference from each side of the jam of about 1 0 ft.

We did not encounter any fish until we crossed the log barrier. After that most pools would
have 2-3 fish (from what we could see). Most pools ranged from 1 -4 ft. Not including the plunge
pools. A couple of these were probably 6-7 ft. deep.

There were two rainbow trout in a large pool actively biting at a live wasp helplessly floating
on the top of the water. The pool was a slow-moving eddy and each fish was located on each side
1 995 Stream Surveys

of it. The wasp circled twice, and each time the fish jumped for the wasp and missed. We could not
believe that these fish could miss such a large and brightly colored insect. Then the wasp got
caught near some rocks in a back current and a crayfish grabbed the wasp. Fish ranged in sizes
from 4-7 inches.

From the start, this stream was FULL of crayfish. They seemed to increase once the stream
leveled out at the tributary and more sandy, shallow areas are formed. It seemed like 4 out of 5
large flat rocks I turned over had 1 or two crayfish. Largest- 5 inches, Smallest- 1 inch.
This stream does not look like a taiied-f rog stream. It is too open, water temp too high and moss
covered rocks. I also wonder if fish predate upon tailed frogs.

7/28/95 Malonev Creek

partly cloudy, partly sunny; temp.- 80's

This small creek runs in a valley similar looking to Deer Creek In fact it is the valley just east of
Deer Creek The topography is rolling grasslands with Ponderosa and Doug Fir on the north side of
the draws. Width- 3-6 ft. wide. Canopy coverage varies from 0-70%. The creek goes from open,
to brushy, to tree covered. The area is leased to a family who ranges cattle there in the winter time.
The creek descends about 600 ft. in a 1/2 mile.

8/08/95 Malonev Creek

90% overcast, light wind, air temp. 60's

It rained all day yesterday, it will probably rain today

1112- Starting about 1/8 miie below where the road crosses the stream. Conifers on the upper
banks, vine-maple, cottonwood, thimbleberry vegetation along stream banks. Stream width approx.
3 ft. Rocky, small boulder substrate. Small boulder riffles. Habitat looks good, but we are not
finding anything. Water temp.- 1 3° C

Creek overstory varies from extremely brushy (thimbleberry) to conifer/mapie/ Some areas
are so brushy we had to walk around. Canopy coverage varies from 0-90%. Average depth of
riffles around 3 inches.
1210- Water temperature- 13° C.

Not many large rocks for Idaho Giant Salamanders to hide under. Silt on the bottom of the rocks.
A lot of downed mossy logs. The stream goes completely underground for over 200 yds. Just
upstream from where the stream re-emerges

BUBO- 6 inches long in a small pool, female. Water temp. 14°C. She was sitting in a small shallow
area of the stream. There was 1 00% canopy coverage.

CHBO- dead on the edge of the road. 744 paces from the fence.
