The frog in the pictures appears to be a juvenile
bullfrog. I'd guess
there is a breeding site nearby, and you experience
migrations of
metamorphized offspring (a couple or three inches long,
snout to
vent). A pretty common thing.

Bullfrogs get to be pretty darned big, don't they? And I
would kind of expect to have seen one of them around the
yard in 10 years of living in this house. In that time I've
seen plenty of Gulf Coast Toads (from babies to full-grown -
about 5"), and the rare sighting of these little green frogs
that never are larger than 2" - usually less. I think
that's the adult size, else bullfrogs are breeding in my
yard then going elsewhere? Doesn't make much sense when I
have an in-ground pond they can happily breed in and eat the
minnows. ::shrug:: Plus the only tadpoles I've seen are
(presumably Gulf Coast) toad tadpoles that transform in one
season - heck, in about two months.
