Murray 1949 Rana aurora Aug 12 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. Young frogs are abundant, mostly in standing water connected with the creek, at the edge of the lagoon and in at least one very exposed pool. There are also adults, appearing to venture readily from the water. One was on a log in deep redwood forest, about 4 feet from the ground with very thick greenshrubbery, and several feet away from a small trickle of water. I saw one on dry driftwood 20 feet from Maple Creek. This morning about 7 AM, one was sitting on mixed green and dried grass more than 25 feet from the edge of the lagoon. It was very foggy and the grass was wet. Aug 18 Same location Have continued to see frogs in dry places. At least 2 were on dry sand above a 5 ft bank and 10 or 15 ft. away from Maple Creek.
