Devine Lake Park, Leander, Williamson Co., TX

Myself and one other volunteer began lake side monitoring for amphibians at 5:40 p.m. to try and locate specimens for pictures. No amphibians were located.

Monitoring for calls began at 6:10 p.m. (sunset) and continued for one hour. At 6:58 p.m. a Rio Grande Leopard Frog (Rana berlandieri) called at call index 1. The frog called one time and stopped before recording could take place.

The lake was much above average and the water temperature was 53 degrees Fahrenheit at sunset. The sky was clear and the relative humidity was 28%. Air temperature at the three monitoring periods (in degrees Fahrenheit) was 51 degrees at 6:10 p.m.; 50 degrees at 6:38 p.m. and 42 degrees at 7:05 p.m.
