NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS Show: Arizona Frogs Log of DAT #: 8 Engineer: Bill Deputy Date: 7/19/02 :47 My name is peter garelock, and I work in Tucson sometimes and tookees county most of the time. I grow native plants, plants native to the upper elevations of southeastern Arizona. 1:13 you have empirical knowledge of the desert? 1:17 yeah, because really I'm a college dropout so I successfully dropped out to become a musician. But when I was in college I was into wildlife biology, just an extension of my childhood. Wild things, and plants and animals 1:36 and your love for the Sonoran desert? 1:40 yeah, what happened is I quit the music business and I thought "yeah, I need to get outside," so I got a gig in a wholesale nursery, I'm working at some wholesale nursery producing native trees, and I said man, this is it - and I'm doing more and more growing - of course you can't study a tree unless you study what's under it or what's growing around it, or you're not really doing a service or seeing the whole biology of it. 2:04 one of the things that would be really helpful to us is the whole notion of the desert coming to life during the monsoon region, which I don't think people outside this ecoregion are going to understand, and remember we're focusing mainly on amphibians. What happens this time of year on this part of the earth? 2:32 PM So you're in the Sonoran desert around Tucson Arizona. And the rainy season comes and from a if you've got your winter rains in January February, and spring, I used to laugh - there are two days of spring, and the heat hits. And if you really are into this, and you celebrate the desert, you just can't wait for the buildup over a mountain. And what happens when those monsoons come, the critters, the plants, they're waiting as well, because they're not going to come out in the heat, because nothing in their right mind comes out. What happens with amphibians of course, when the puddles come, they use that time to come out and breed, and it's only a short time, we're talking a couple months here of activity. With the Colorado river toads, their main activity time is maybe may, through July, to august, for the whole year. That's phenomenal. But what they're trying to tide in with is rain, and breeding, and keeping the species going, but it comes alive, that's for sure. It's a celebration. I mean, I always wonder about people, it's a sense of place, when you celebrate rain and that's what this place is about. Arid lands, the rain hits, amphibians, there are more snakes, snakes on a day like today you're going to see snakes, instead of at night, during the day. The activity increases, everything increases. Some plants wait for the rain to seed, so you're going to see some activity based around plants getting green or getting seed on them. 3:57 JB so the whole desert really changes during these two months? 4:00 PM oh it really does, a simple shrub like a bursage - it's drought strategy is to crinkle up and turn brown. So here it rains and all of a sudden this thing greens up. The best thing, of course¿ ... (Notes truncated)
