Field Notes

Habitat:

AshleyT told me that green frogs have a ridge that extends part of the way down their back on each side. This frog has it, but the color of this frog was blue as you can see against green grass. Shall I call this blue frog?

Blue is usually a color morph in this species. Could you please add to my mission Rare Color Morphs
RiekoS
Thank you very much Ashley!!! I will add ID as a Green Frog ;-)

Color doesn't mean much in amphibians, most of them change their color depending on their temperature. This is still a Green Frog, Lithobates clamitans, even though he is blue :)
