Wordless Wednesday: Fowler's Toad, Bufo fowleri

Pickerel Frog pictures

One frog that is fairly common in Massachusetts is the Pickerel Frog, Rana palustris. These frogs are sometimes confused with the (less common in my area) Northern Leopard Frog, but I've only encountered Pickerel Frogs in my adventures, though I did hear the distinctive call of the Northern Leopard Frog one night this past spring. Anyway, here are a few of the pictures I have managed to get when I have stumbled across the easily-stumble-acrossable Pickerel Frogs. Enjoy.
