Green frog (Rana clamitans)

I saw the muskrat in the pond with a mouthful of cattails. Although I patiently waited for nearly 30 minutes, he didn't re-emerge. In the meantime I was entertained by the toads who were trilling again after a hiatus. Found a dead leopard frog today. Herons usually swallow them whole, but this one was missing a leg and had other injuries.... maybe a crow caught it and then dropped it. We see few of these frogs at FWG, so it could even be that it was dropped by a bird who'd caught it elsewhere. Fortunately, this green frog was very much alive and well. Speaking of amphibians, treefrogs were calling from many locations in the garden.
