redleg frog California Red-legged Frog
This frog is listed as threatened and is protected by California law. The main cause of declines is habitat loss and destruction, but introduced predatory species such as bullfrogs, might also be a big factor.
Fence Lizard Kind of Blue
This Fence lizard had blue flecking.
Lunar Landscape Lunar Landscape
Some parts of the marsh had an "otherworldly" appearance.
Newts Neonate Newts
Flipping rocks and logs at the edge of the marsh revealed many tiny newts.
