Yosemite toad caught on camera crossing beneath "toad road" structure
This is remote capture image of a Yosemite toad seen crossing beneath "toad road" structure built atop a forest road in the Sierra National Forest. Reseachers are exploring tools, such as this elevated road structure, or "toad road," to reduce vehicle strikes to this threatened species.

Building 1 and Credit Union on USGS Menlo Park campus
Building 1 formerly housed many different USGS groups, including the Western Coastal and Marine Geology team, but slowly has been leased out to other federal agencies like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Veterans Affairs (VA). At the right is the Menlo Survey Federal Credit Union.
