Field Notes

Notes:

The swamp this frog was in had tons of bullfrogs. A few times while I was there, about 100 bullfrogs started calling all at the same time, just like this one in the second picture.

Congratulations Tom, your classic bullfrog photo has been chosen as spotting of the day! The American bullfrog is a giant among North American frogs, growing to a length of 8 inches and weighing up to 1.5 pounds. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152886862490603&set=a.10152383557885603.943728.10150120463815603&type=1 https://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/342834097183395840

I love the second picture too! White dot resembles like a moon. "Water" "frog" "moon", perfect to make a great "haiku."
