San Francisco Garter Snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia) and California Red-legged Frogs(Rana draytonii) are two endangered species that call the Bay Area home. Both tied to freshwater, they are most impacted by the decline of suitable habitat in a heavily developed region. Still, they manage to hold on in pockets of habitat strewn across a landscape populated with more familiar species like Poison Oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum), California Blackberry (Rubus ursinus), Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica), California Darner dragonflies (Rhionaeschna californica), and mayflies (Baetis sp.).
