Spring Peeper with vocal sac inflated
We have been having some warm, rainy nights lately that are just perfect for increasing the numbers of frogs and toads that come to sing in the vernal ponds behind my home. Here are two quick images from my recent forays into the ponds. I will do a more lengthy post in the coming days with my image results and observations thus far.

Awesome captures Andrew! Love them both, the inflated sacs are so cool to see. Nice work.
Denise, these guys are a ton of fun to photograph. Thanks very much for the kind words, much appreciated!
Your blog is outstanding! Love how you photographed the frogs. We also have a pond out back and it is filled with frogs. When they get to sing, I call it the Frog Orchestra. There is one frog that sounds like he is playing a Tuba, he must be huge! I’ve never thought about going out to try to photograph them! I have some knee-high Hunters (wellies)!
Thanks for the kind words Sandy. There is nothing quite like the frogs when they go into full chorus. They can be quite loud when I am sitting in the pond with them.
