  Although the volume of water falling in the watershed may have been similar, the way it and the topography interacted (except closer
to Hillsboro) varied significantly. Flooding in Hillsboro may occur because of multiple types of events.
  

Arizona Tree Frog Follow-up
Don Precoda followed up his article about life as a Hillsboro Peak Fire Lookout (see last issue) with this: “...the Arizona Tree Frog...has popped up several times over the past 3-4 summers. Once one was picked up in the meadow by visitors and held in such a way as to allow rotational viewing. I learned a green tree frog has a 


 

bright yellow underside. The same seasonal 15’x15’ basin/bolson used by the frog in the essay is also vital for another different frog that has bumpy skin and different coloration. I have seen babies of both frog types smaller than my pinkie finger nail, in groups of 20 or more moving through the meadow on Hillsboro Peak. My sense is the resident turkey population murder and eat as many as possible.”
