Dive in as we search for amphibian egg masses. We routinely survey Northwest Trek grounds for different amphibian species. During our search, we found western toad eggs and western toads in amplexus. Amplexus is a type of mating behavior where the male holds the female toad around the waist in a hug, and at the same time or with some time delay, he fertilizes the eggs as the female lays them. This important data is reported to the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife to better protect and conserve amphibians for the future. ????
