Colorado hikers will find “WANTED” posters at
trailheads this fall. The state Division of Wildlife, which posted
the signs, is not looking for fugitives, but endangered boreal
toads. The toads are often confused with chorus frogs or Woodhouse
toads and biologists are trying to track legitimate sightings. They
hope hikers will help with pictures, postcards, or call-ins.
Postcards are available at regional Division offices, or send
photographs to Colorado Division of Wildlife, attn. Mark Jones, 317
W. Prospect Rd., Fort Collins, CO 80526
(970/472-4361).
