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.
