Summary and Recommendations
This report contains a compilation of observations of amphibians in Banff National Park in 2000. It represents the continuation of surveys begun in 1992 which are intended to provide a better understanding of the distribution of amphibians in this part of the Rocky Mountains. (See McIvor,1994 , McIvor and McIvor, 1995, McIvor and McIvor, 1996, McIvor and McIvor 1997, McIvor and McIvor, 1998, McIvor and McIvor, 1999). These observations include random/opportunistic sightings but primarily are from surveys conducted for the specific purpose of collecting information about amphibians.
Early in the season there was an attempt to locate adult frogs and toads by the sound of their calling at breeding sites. Later efforts involved more concerted searches for egg masses, larvae and young-of-the-year. A variety of wetlands -marshes, ponds, lakes, backwaters of the Bow and other rivers - were surveyed in afternoons or evenings, some on several occasions.
Many places that had been visited in previous years were re-visited. Some other potential breeding sites were checked for the first time, including: Sundance Pond, a pond midway between the Banff Recreation Grounds and the Cave & Basin berm; Tracker's Wetland on the slopes of Castle Mountain; and the ponds west of the Twin Lakes trail. Areas beside the Parkway in Kootenay National Park were checked again this year. Several wetlands in the Yamnuska Natural Area were visited as well.
The earliest records for 2000 were of wood frogs calling on April 23 at Muleshoe Flats, including Goose Pond, and at North Old Dump Wetland where at least 10 adults were seen. This was 4 days later than the previous year. The first wood frog egg masses were seen on April 26 at North Old Dump Wetland and April 27 at Muleshoe Flats where at least 200 adults were active and vocal.
The first long-toed salamander eggs were at Amphibian World and Norquay Pond on May 2. Spotted frogs were calling and egg masses were found on April 25 at the Yamnuska. The first boreal toad egg strings were not found until May 19 at Sunshine Wetlands despite a thorough search on May 14. The previous year, boreal toad egg strings were found at this wetland on May 6.
Direct evidence of breeding in the form of egg masses, larvae, or metamorphosed young was found for all 4 species of amphibian known to occur in Banff National Park. Each of the new areas surveyed had evidence of breeding of at least one species of amphibian. Egg masses of wood frogs and long-toed salamanders were found in the pond between the recreation grounds and the Cave & Basin berm; boreal toad tadpoles were found in Tracker's Wetland; and egg masses of wood frogs and spotted frogs were found in Curve Pond west of the Twin Lakes Trail.
The latest records for the year came from the Yamnuska where 3 spotted frogs (including 2 small juveniles) were found on September 24, and from the shallows at the outlet of Vista Lake where more than 200 boreal toad tadpoles were seen on September 26. Almost two weeks later, on October 8, 60 tadpoles were still in this area although only about 50% appeared to be alive. They were in water that was 2-4 cm. deep, under a thin layer of ice.
In the absence of a more formal program for monitoring amphibians throughout the seasons it is impossible to determine the effect of annual changes in weather patterns. This is true particularly with respect to wetlands that have a tendency to shrink as summer progresses and may dry out completely in years of low precipitation. For example, while Summit Pond held 5 boreal toad tadpoles and a dozen toadlets were found on the moist ground near the shore on September 15, 1999, in the year 2000, it was dry by September 6. Th~re is no way of knowing how many, if any, tadpoles had a chance to metamorphose before the water was gone. However it is obvious that between cold temperatures at either end of the breeding season, and the potential for water levels to vary dramatically in some wetlands, conditions for amphibian reproduction in the mountains are not always ideal.
For a complete report of all the surveys see: Amphibian Surveys in Banff National Park and adjacent areas, 1992-2000, Diane & Mike McIvor, February 2001.
