Notes
I watched a small frog dive under a rock in small pool. Initially thought it was a treefrog, put my fingers under rock to coax it out. What came out from under rock was Rana boylii. Specimen was not touched.
P sierra tadpoles were also present in pool, but not photographed. This pool is not suitable for Rana boylii reproduction, this frog probably comes from creek this small stream feeds.
Initial georeference via GPS, minor adjustment via Google Earth.
