End of article 2053 (of 2071)--what next? [npq] Article 2054 (13 more) in sci.environment: From: gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us (Gary S. Trujillo) Subject: Re: Frogs and toads I used to participate in the Frog and Toad Survey conducted each year by the Illinois Conservation Department but it was so depressing, I quit doing it. Three time each year, during the breeding season, we would make our milk run. Each participant had ten stops, about a mile apart, somewhere in the state. We are provided with tapes to identify them by their calls and asked to estimate gross population size. By last year, only one of my sites still had frogs but it was surrounded by development and a huge for sale sign went up since the previous trip. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why we are losing frogs and toads. ^ \ / \ / > / * \ < / | | \ | A | | R | THE LIGHTHOUSE OF | F | WISDOM AND TRUTH ____| |____ | Amateur | ____| Radio Forum|____ arf@lopez / Thurs 09:PM 3950 KHZ \ f@chinet | Sat 10:AM 14313 KHZ | |______ N R 9 Q ________| Times are Local Central NEVER VOTE FOR THE INCUMBENT!!!!!
