Northern Leopard Frog
Lithobates pipiens
44.2681, -75.747
Field Notes
Description:
Green with brown and black spots. Brown and yellow eyes. Light yellow throughout the body.
It also comes in practically reverse colors with the base being brown—the same eyes.
Habitat:
Swampy pond that gets cut off from the lake at this time of year.
Notes:
These little frogs are everywhere here. I had the pleasure to watch this one cleaning and relaxing.
From the research I've come across they are in decline due to habitat destruction and invasive species eating them. For a while, they were over-hunted for frog legs when people over-hunted the Bullfrogs.
