Notes
This was the only bullfrog seen in this puddle during 5 days of observation. Puddle appeared temporary, though it may last for several more weeks or even months if periodic rains continue. Puddle was full of hundreds of tadpoles, but gray treefrogs, cricket frogs, and american toads were breeding in the pond, so I am unsure on the tadpole ID. When heavy rains hit this night and the next, ranids were no longer seen and the gray treefrogs, cricket frogs, and toads dominated.
