Neat videos, Addy! I've seen bullfrogs consistently since our temps went back up again about a week and a half ago. Even tonight, with the temps only around 50, there were big bullfrogs on the goldfish pond. The very large bullfrog is in the goldfish pond, and it's far larger than my hand. It usually sits along the edge with me maybe 3' away or less. It saw my friend, and jumped in, but only to a pot that was maybe 2' underwater, and thought it was hidden, although we could see it clearly. She couldn't believe how large it was! This is another Bullfrog on the goldfish pond. Large, but not the XL guy!
Toad I spotted while I was pulling weeds. He/she was all snuggled in that mass of weeds, that I let it stay and weeded somewhere else.
This little frog is I think a spring peeper, although I never heard it sing. This guy was in my window well, along with a baby snake (about 10" long) and two cool looking snails! The frog is only about 1" long, at most. And, no, this picture was not taken in black and white mode. This is how drab the area was in the window well. The frog was gray, the snake was gray, and the snails were black with gray shells.
I realize this is a "frogs only" thread, but can anyone tell me what type of snail this is? I've never seen one like this before, and there were two in the window well. I moved the plastic cover to dig up a butterfly bush that grew from seed just inside the cover, and it was actively growing all winter long, never lost it's leaves. Guess it liked the "greenhouse" effect. But, again, the snail ... any idea what type? It's small, only about 1" diameter or less across the shell.
