New Elevational Records for the Boreal Toad (Bufo boreas boreas)
Campbell JB. 1970. New Elevational Records for the Boreal Toad (Bufo boreas boreas). Arctic and Alpine Research. 2(2):157-159
In July 1969 a large female boreal toad was found at timberline in the Rocky Mountain National Park, Larimaer County, Colorado. A total of 46 boreal toads have been found at different localities in the Colorado Front Range, all above 3,385 m elevation, and all within 200 m of timberline. These new records extend the known elevational range of the species upward more than 250 m. A brief description of the habitat of the two highest known localities is given.
