Rana muscosa
Cathedral Creek, Yosemite Nat'l Park,
Tuolumne Co., Calif.
more extensive tests (or something) but
didn't think of it 'til later.
1st indiv. found sitting on rocky/gravelly
sand bar to grassy banks; sunny.
2nd indiv. spotted ~ 5' from where
found juvenile. He was scared off.
The bark's went under a log (small
which had fallen across the stream
& apparently hid in some thick "slimy" looking
algal(?) growth on the bottom. We
return ~ 1/2 hr later & found him
sitting submerged in the sand ~
1 ft' upstream from the log. This
time we saw where he went & was
able to capture him.
scared over here & captured.
depth 20
algal(?) growth
also quite a grassy bank)
3rd indiv. found farther downstream
sitting in the bottom of a sunny
6-12 in. deep pool. Clearly visible.
