The toads spawn in this water. Arivca is a Pima Indian word that means marshy or reedy land because it collects so much monsoon rain. On the ranch we had a huge pond and several large creeks form during the monsoons. The creeks have completely dried up and the pond is rapidly evaporating. So the toads will go into hibernation soon.
