Field Notes

Description:

An American bullfrog and two freshwater snails. Compare and contrast the two photographs. Photo 2 of 2 was taken more than an hour later than Photo 1. What's different? Did you notice that one of two snails shown in the first photograph is missing in the second photo? Frogs eat snails ... hmmm, I wonder. Can anyone identify the snail(s)? By the way, that's my reflection in the water. (I was hanging over the edge of a boardwalk that goes through the wetlands.)

Habitat:

Huntley Meadows Park, a 1,425 acre wetland area in Fairfax County, Virginia USA. Related Resource: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/huntley/
