Field Notes

Description:

Spotted this frog near my work in a runoff pond.

Notes:

Two pictures, the first one of a bullfrog at the edge of the pond. The second picture is of a different bull frog. I was standing on the culvert hanging out over the edge trying not to fall in as I snapped the picture.

They are tricky! Glad to help :)

Thanks and perhaps I should update my reference. My wife and I were going back and forth.

That is a beautiful shot! But this is a Bullfrog. Green Frogs have a dorsolateral fold that is an extension of the fold that wraps around the tympanum. Bullfrogs only have this fold that wraps around the tympanum.
