Notes
Found this baby while observing first of breeding wood frogs. Thought she was dead , I think she was scooped by a predator or something, her shell was mangled and she barely moved (it was still winter). Took home to rehabilitate. Released July 2009....
You can see where her shell is still a bit deformed....
