This report summarizes data collected with the Draft SECN Amphibian Community MonitoringProtocol (Byrne et al. in preparation) at Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve and FortCaroline National Memorial in 2009. Data were collected at 30 spatially-balanced random locations at the Preserve with two techniques: automated recording devices and visual-encounter surveys. Sampling activities occurred at the Preserve from 4/9/2009 to 4/19/2009, and again from 6/24/2009 to 7/29/2009. 549 amphibians in 17 species, genera, families, or orders, and 186 reptiles and reptile signs in 14 species, genera, families, or orders were detected. One non-native amphibian, greenhouse frog, and one non-native reptile, brown anole, were detected. Two of the amphibians detected were the first recorded occurrences at the Preserve and additions to the species list; oak toad and bronze frog. One of the reptiles detected was the first recorded occurrences at the Preserve and additions to the species list; Eastern box turtle.
