@gettinaway looks like a female bullfrog
@redenigma I thought so too, but I wasn’t going to commit to it. I am still learning my frogs and toads!
@redenigma That’s a great marker! I’ll remember that. Thank you!
@gettinaway if you get to where you can easily tell common toads from Woodhouse toads, let me know how :)
@redenigma I usually snap the picture I try to identify it when I get home. I usually snap over 500 images a hike. Everything I see. Birds, flowers, bugs, frogs anything that catches my eye. I then spend hours pouring over guides trying to figure out what I saw and how to remember it!
@gettinaway here's a fun one (i walk my dog at midnight.) one of the dozens of local barred owls. we have great horned, saw whet &, in the winter, snowy owls too
@redenigma That is awesome! Owls are always exciting to see. Some mornings I start my walk before the sun rises. One morning as I entered the park just as the sun was rising the local crows went crazy. They led me to a Great Horned Owl. The first I had seen in that park.
@redenigma That is really cool. I'm always on the look out for spiders. They make interesting subjects. Basilica Orbweaver
@gettinaway bullfrogs are fairly easy to gender. if the ear is the same size as the eye, it's female. the males have bigger tympanic membranes
