Tree Frogs



These little frogs were on some leaves and grasses on a warm summer day.  You would only see them in the shade.  They are about 20mm long (size of a quarter)

Giant tadpole

A tadpole by the floating docks at Dodd Park in early spring 2015. Can you see it, right in the middle there?
It was big, at least walnut-sized.

Vertical Frog

A frog clinging above a leafy pool next to Reedy Creek at Forest Hill Park in fall 2014. My best guess at an ID would be Acris crepitans, the Eastern Cricket Frog.

Toad

A humble, well-camouflaged toad at Forest Hill Park the same day I saw the vertical frog, in fall 2014. It might be Anaxyrus americanus.
