Description

I sure wish I'd gotten a better photograph of this one... The plains leopard frog. I used to see tons of these when I was a kid living in Oklahoma (1985-1987), but didn't see many on this return trip (or other more-recent trips). What few I *have* seen have been a little less than cooperative for my camera. Alas, so it goes with the nervous plains leopard frog!
