Title: Oregon Spotted Frog to Receive Protection as Threatened
Post by: pianoman9701 on November 28, 2014, 08:47:55 AM: This will affect Puget Sound and WA's side of the Gorge, as well as parts of OR. Hopefully, the Canadian Gray Wolf is one of its predators. "Restoration plans will focus on maintaining water levels in wetlands, putting beavers back into ecosystems, removing invasive grasses and removing non-native predators, Fish and Wildlife officials said." Yes I know. Tongue-in-cheek.

Wasn't it learned that the problem turned out to be another owl?
