These pics were as close as I could get to the frogs without getting into the water. ID is based off the fact that SFSU students conduct research studies of Red Legged Frogs at this exact locale. Also confirmed by park ranger.

Are you positive on this ID? From the angle, it kinda looks like a Bullfrog...
