Northwestern Salamander (Ambystoma gracile)Observer
rowcatDescription
Found along edges of cattails close to path in Scudder Pond in Whatcom Falls park. Fairly confident these were amphibian egg masses. Found several more blobs further down the pond, though it was difficult to tell whether they were egg masses or old cattail inflorescences.
There were several frogs that hopped away from me as I looked, but I could not ID them.

Sycamore Maple (Acer pseudoplatanus)Observer
rowcatDescription
Found next to path in forest in Whatcom Falls Park. This tree had obviously been pruned by park officials and was around the size of a medium shrub.
These leaves seems fully grown, so it's unlikely that it's a Big Leaf Maple, but they are much larger and have fewer points than a vine maple. I've never seen of of these trees and known it, despite all the claims in guide books I've seen saying they occur in our area!

Survey for the BP-owned marshlands near the Cherry Point Refinery.
I (Rowan) was not present for this survey, but these are observations from volunteer citizen scientists for the 2015 WCAMP Eggmass Survey.
This site appears to have been surveyed twice in this foray. It is unclear as to whether this particular site was divided up.
This particular data sheet had a confusing element: on the margins next to the data table were many encircled numbers labeled "All Tree Frog Masses." It is unclear whether they were redundant data or whether they were additional data. For now they've been ignored and only the data from the data table was taken.
