Columbia spotted frog -State candidate species Western toad - State candidate species Columbia spotted frog - Federal Species of Concern Red Legged frogs - Federal candidate last time I checked Thank you to Brett and Jesse for the following :Clink on the links below for PHOTOS of the Western Pond Turtle, red legged frog and some other good info' on salmon!!!

Red legged frogs have a number of identifying characteristics, including red legs!

Bret Fish filmed about 6 hours of salmon including the death of one in clear, flowing water. It's believed it died from chemicals. It's a shame the agency that was doing testing on some slamon that died mysteriously ran into some problems and never did the right tests to solve the mystery. Why is the Port requesting permission to build a record breaking tall wall within 50 feet of a salmon bearing creek? Note References contains lists of some salmon reports. Also the ACC listed under Reports has some documentation on them. ORCAS - updated June 16,2002 What would 8 barge crossings a day do to the orcas in Puget Sound ? (four round trips from Maury Island to the proposed Des Moines Conveyor belt or four round trips from Vancouver Island to Des Moines or a combination?). What would 4000 barge crossings mean to the orcas? Do you think Springer, the baby whale by Vashon Island 2nd quarter 2002, was protesting? The southern resident pod is already in danger of extinction, would this noise, barge pollution, and ASRACO contaminated fill pollution put the nail in the coffin?
