Thanks for the kind words, "acreamoth99." I'll enter the featured photo in the annual photo contest sponsored by Huntley Meadows Park. Stay tuned -- I'll let you know whether I win first place!

Frogs make an unmistakable distress call when they are in the jaws of a snake -- once you've heard it you'll never forget it! Thanks for the kind words and for ID-ing the frog, Neil, and of course, good to hear from you!

Nice series of photos! Looks like the frog is a bullfrog. Thanks for sharing!
