Chorus frog (Pseudacris triseriata triseriata)

Not the best photo by any means, but these guys are, in my experience, very difficult to see, let alone photograph. I managed to get a photo of this tiny frog (about the size of a quarter) calling, by standing in water and waiting until they got used to my presence and began calling again, and then looking for slight movements. I ended up seeing a lot of chorus frogs, but was unable to get near most of them!

I agree with Chris. I've never seen one, and to get a picture of him calling is spectacular! V

It is a great shot, so amusing and a treat to see!! Wish could hear the chorus, too. V

This is a super accomplishment! I've done exactly what you did, sit still in the middle of these pools and look for movements, probably in the exact same spot you took this photo, but I've so far only managed to see a ripple in the water where one (I'm assuming it was one) went under when I made a movement. Last year I didn't even see one! To get a photo is super!
