  • Columbia Spotted Frog is a video I took of them during their courtship behavior and egg laying in the Juneau area on May 5, 2020. 
  • In our survey of amphibians in the Juneau area in 2003 we only found a small number of them. They were all at the community gardens. At this time we observed no tadpoles or eggs. 
  • To see the specifics of this study look at Habitat Use of Amphibians in Southeast Alaska and go to page 59.
  • In the years after this survey I have noticed them breeding in the Old River Channel and at Norton Lake.
  • This recent observation indicates a considerable spread in distribution throughout this area.
  • To learn about these frogs look at Columbia Spotted Frog (Rana luteiventris formerly R. pretiosa): A Technical Conservation Assessment /sites/default/files/stelprdb5182077.pdf
