A California Red-legged Frog, as photographed by Chris Pechal.

• • 2 Comments

California Red-legged Frogs are a treat to see. Their numbers are down and they are federally protected under the Endangered Species Act. Chris Pechal, on a biotic survey on The Sea Ranch, photographed one of these frogs in Salal Creek.

It's good to see this frog is thriving at Salal Creek!

Thanks to Chris for allowing me to share  her photos with you here.

Oh my, the day started off HOT, with the thermometer moving past 90 degrees by 9 am! But the wind picked up early this afternoon and the temp went down to 80, thank goodness. The ocean was flat calm this morning. Here's a photo from our deck taken at dawn this morning. There's the full moon low in the sky. The fog is AWOL!
