I've tried. My green/bronze frogs are cool with me. They let me take
pictures, touche them, etc. This guy is quite shy. We have some smaller
guys
to that jump in when we get within 20 feet of the pond. We call them
peepers
as they making a "peep" sound as they jump in.

Green frogs are known for making a noise when they jump into the water.

I tend towarrds gree frog also on ID. I have a few in my pond that look
like that. *smile*

On the IHMP frog page we have a link to the frogtracker site which lets you
here frogs, http://www.iheartmypond.com/Animals/Frogs/default.asp. My
greenie's definately sound like these. My toad is dead on. The spring
peepers sound similar to the peep before jump frogs, but they have not been
a chorus at night.

Have you heard your new visitor yet?
That ought to help ID it.

Lady Bullfrog here has moved onto the island
in the big pond. She seems to have settled in.
Treefrog taddies are growing nicely in the bog.

If my ID skills are what I think they are...we had our first Bull show up
this week.

BV,
It's a frog, and it's green with spots like a leopard!

Therefore it must be a leopard frog?

I kill me!

I too thought it looked like one of my young female green frogs. I sent
an e-mail to BV but it bounced so I forgot about it. My females have
brown striped legs like that and the same colors. Males are much more
dark green and at first appear to be a different species to some.

Really? Even with the sharp contrast in markings? I always thought greeens
had less complicated marks.

Anyone have any idea what this guy is? And JMK, if you say, "A frog". I
will
come over there and beat you with one of your koi.

P.S. Had my first lily flower today.

LOL! Well that makes three or four different frogs that
'squeak' when they jump in the water. I had this
happen to me several years ago - nearly scared me to death.
A guy on this group said the frogs I have are Leopard frogs.
Now all the frogs squeak when they hear me approach the
pond ... LOL

Kathy, so glad your pond life has settled in ... now we just
gotta get your teens well....
