I'm not a frog expert so I could be wrong, but Baja California Tree Frogs have been what I've seen around. The third photo is of frog eggs! I've also counted about six frogs in total in this same 'pond'. Also, I might've captured two frog species? I've heard of the same species varying a lot in appearance though. Second and fourth photo shows the possibly different frog species.
California Toad tadpole to the left for comparison. Any pointers to distinguishing tadpoles of Sierran Treefrog and Red-legged Frog would be very welcome.
Not sure how to describe them... juveniles, or still larvae? Larveniles?

Found this little guy in a moist tire. No bigger than half my thumb! When I picked him up to be relocated to a creek so I can plant veggies in my tire, I noticed that he curled up in a little ball and froze. Heart rate increased. Fight, flight, or freeze response. Eventually he ran away when u placed the container I used to relocate him down :]
This observation is for the larger, greener tadpoles. The smaller, black ones can be found here:
