Notes

Unfortunately there are no voucher shot because this was an unplanned herping trip (in part because we were not really permitted to stop and hike in the burn area).

But the frog we found was definitely a Baja California tree frog, about 3/4 inches long.

In general, the streambed looked quite healthy and alive despite the fire. We also found 6 thamnophis hammondii of all sizes and one adult Western pond turtle in a timeframe of about an hour. Those records have been entered separately.
