Notes

This was an interesting find. You'll notice in the first picture that there are 3 Green Frogs. One very large male, a smaller individual to his upper left, and another small frog sitting in the water. Over the time of my photo shoot, the large frog ate the smaller frog next to it. I did not get a shot of it, as I was so surprised. You can see in the second picture that the small frog is gone, and the third picture was as good a shot of the big fellow that I could get.
