  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Terrestrial behavior and habitat associations of post-metamorphic &lt;i&gt;Taricha granulosa &lt;/i&gt;are poorly understood (Oliver and McCurdy 1974. Can. J. Zool. 52:541-545; Pimentel 1960. Amer. Midl. Nat. 63:470-496). Chandler (1918. Oregon Agric. Coll. Exper. Sta. Bull. 152:6) referenced Fall T &lt;i&gt;granulosa &lt;/i&gt;aggregations in "cavities under stumps, logs, and stones," but does not present specific data. Pimentel &lt;i&gt;(op. cit.) &lt;/i&gt;reported that T &lt;i&gt;granulosa &lt;/i&gt;constructed burrows in a terrarium and 1-3 adults of both sexes shared burrows for up to three months. Here, I describe two summer aggregations of T &lt;i&gt;granulosa &lt;/i&gt;from the Willow Creek Natural Area (WCNA) in the southern Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA. The WCNA includes wetlands (primarily seasonal), prairies, riparian forests of willow &lt;i&gt;(Salix &lt;/i&gt;spp.), black cottonwood &lt;i&gt;(Populus trichocarpa), &lt;/i&gt;and Oregon ash &lt;i&gt;(Fraxinus latifolia), &lt;/i&gt;and patches of upland forest of Oregon white oak &lt;i&gt;(Quercus garryana), &lt;/i&gt;California black oak &lt;i&gt;(Quercus kelloggii), &lt;/i&gt;and Douglas fir &lt;i&gt;(Pseudotsuga menziesii). Taricha granulosa &lt;/i&gt;commonly breed in old stock ponds and beaver impoundments on the site.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
