Notes
Four specimens seen. First two were rather small, bigger than largest Sierran Treefrogs but not much. Not photographed as they hid in vegetation.
Third specimen is pictured. Appears to be adult.
A fourth adult, even larger, also seen but it dove under ledge in creek.
No specimens were handled.

Interesting observation; many biologisted thought they were extirpated from the region.
