One Froggy Morning

Green-Wood’s Valley Water, filled with tadpoles earlier in the spring, is now full of young Bull Frogs (Rana catesbeiana). At least, that’s what I think they are. The crowd including this frogpole, not yet completely transformed into an adult.The lily pads spluttered as these little ones hopped, skipped, and splashed away, sometimes hitting several pads before find the shelter of the water. Most skedaddled well in advance of the camera.But I managed to digitize a few of the dozens upon dozens of them.The telephoto compresses space, so I’m not sure how close these two were. The mature frog would be a mouthful.
