Note Recorded at Olema Marsh; temperature was approximately 45 degrees Fahrenheit; skies partly cloudy with high humidity and low-hanging fog under a partially full moon; road noise and other anthropogenic sounds in background; these frogs are commonly referred to as pacific chorus frogs, but the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles has given the species in this region the name Sierran Treefrog (Pseudacris sierra), while the Center for North American Herpetology refers to them as the Sierra Chorus Frog (Pseudacris sierra); scientists have divided pacific chorus frogs into three distinct species, P. sierra, P. regilla and P. hypochondriaca, that occur in different geographic regions
