“They” have changed the name from Pacific Chorus Frog to Sierran Chorus Frog. Whoever decides these things has divided what I always called Pacific Tree Frogs into three subspecies: Pacific Chorus Frog (north of here), Sierran Chorus Frog, and I think Sonoran Chorus Frog (south). The places to learn the best stuff is californiaherps.com and inaturalist.org! A frog by any other name would be as cute!
Has to be a tree frog! I used to catch them all the time when I was little. Lately however they don’t seem to be as common as they used to be.

well, looks like a frog to me
propably Rana esculenta but kill me: I know almost nothing about frogs, they are rather difficult to identify

Looks like a variation of Hyla regilla but I don’t know where you live! It’s a beautiful colour.

Not sure but don’t touch or lick it!

Looks almost exactly the same as the frogs we have here in Panoche, only the back seems more green.

It’s a Pacific treefrog, aka chorus frog. I’ve seen them on Mt. Tam and in Death Valley. They really get around.

Sana, sana, colita de rana,
