Locally abundant, adults, sub-adults, and tadpoles seen every few feet of stream. This stream originates as a spring, filtering up through the earth to conceivably supplying healthy, pollution free water. In other areas, this species has been extirpated due to pollution, disturbance of habitat, and introduced trout and Rana catesbeiana. Unfortunately, this locality may too be in jeopardy, large herds of cattle disturb/trample shoreline and defecate in stream water. Native Americans frequenting the region mentioned, rather than removing cattle new herds are being brought to the area. Due to the abundance of amphibian prey, Thamnophis elegans are easily found about stream.

One large adult found during two-day survey, but assumed to be same frog by appearing similar and detected in approximately same pool. No other Rana sierrae happened upon when investigating the area. Other wildlife noted from locality include Bufo canorus, Pseudacris regilla, and Thamnophis elegans.
-
Hundreds of tadpoles, dozens of adults and sub-adults seen. Three adults and one tadpole counted in lake, hundreds of tadpoles and no adults viewed in surrounding pond, and dozens of adults and sub-adults encountered in meadow stream.
