Notes

I heard frogs calling so i decided to check out the nearby creek. It was just starting to get dark when I noticed a coastal newt crawling along the bottom of creek, when I went for a closer look I noticed the frog sitting in the water along a rock near the bank. I could hear MANY frogs chirping but only spotted 3. Two of them appeared to be young from last year and one was larger at almost twice the size. The picture with the frog croaking was the larger while the others were about as big as a dime.

I had checked out the underside and it did not have the yellowish back legs as what I have seen on the Baja Cal treefrog. I will change it if I can find out for sure. Thanks Brian
