Rivito, Dean 2004 Mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa) West of Moro Pass in small ponds in middle of meadow, Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne Cr., CA 37°51'22.1"N, 119°13'13.1"W NA027 (11m), 322lm August 5 12:30 PM. I saw at least 15 adult Rana muscosa and numerous tadpoles in the small interconnected ponds in the boggy part of the meadow west of Moro Pass. The frogs were on the banks and jumped in as I approached. The area was covered with grass, wild onion and other flowers. The frogs appeared to be healthy, although there was one dead and very decomposed tadpole (or possibly frog) at the bottom of one of the ponds. Third Recess Creek, about 500m north of Third Recess Lake, John Muir Wilderness, Fresno Cr., CA August 8 I saw two frogs jump into Third Recess Creek and swim under rocks. They were in an area of pooled water along one of the several branches of the stream, where there were some pools and areas of slow-moving water on the side of the stream, cut into the bank. I did not see any fish in the stream but saw large trout in the lake above. 37°25'36.2"N, 118°48'02.7"W (WGS 84, 10m), 3012m 12 PM
