Notes
Found under a damp log along with a juvenile Rough-skinned Newt. Due to the difficulty in separating the Northern Pacific (P. regilla) and Sierran Treefrog (P. sierra) as well as the uncertainty regarding their distribution and degree of overlap in this portion of California, I've decided to opt for the more prudent Pseudacris sp. rather than assume one species or the other based on range alone.
