A lot of the frogs in Borneo are sorta brown mottled things. Not this guy, a jade tree frog is always a nice sight.

The green frog is a common frog found in ponds all over the eastern United States. Its call is a single loud GRUP and can be head on most any summer night near water.
There were quite a lot of amphibians of two species in this pond. Five individuals are visible in this photo. Can you spot them all?
First night at the Firestone and had to take at least a little bit of a walk to see what was out there. A photo software glitch has been fixed and so hopefully for the next week or so I will be able to put up lots of pics. Of note, I usually try to put identifications with my animal photos, but it is looking like there might not be enough time to do that, at least for now. And finally for now... a beautiful spider
A pretty little poison dart frog.
These gardens are on Roanoke Island, and well worth a visit. http://elizabethangardens.org/ Some pics from the gardens... and finally...
No rhyme or reason, just a few pics from the last two days. And finally, for tonight...
After doing a bit of research, I am reasonably certain that the "odd frog" is an hourglass frog (Dendropsophus ebraccatus) without the usual markings. Here is what they usually look like: I photographed this frog quite near where the "odd frog" was, but notice the roughly hourglass shaped dark blotch on its back. It would seem, however, that the frog can come in just a plain yellow without the blotches, just much less commonly.
Obviously things went on here today. And I have a lot of photos. But it is really late and I just want to put up this one photo. Of a frog.
