True Sedges (Genus Carex)Observer
bobkennedyDescription
At first glance, the thin leaves and spreading growth habit made me think of Carex pensylvanica, but flowers look wrong and it is uncommon in NS.
Maybe Carex eburnea?

The spring ephemerals survuved the flooding well at the upper elevations by the river, but just a foot lower, the flooding wiped everything out.

Northern Leopard Frog (Lithobates pipiens)Observer
bobkennedyDescription
About 2" long. Not sure about this. Don't think the markings are quite right for a Wood Frog (Lithobates sylvaticus). Slightly larger than a Spring Peeper and no X on back. Shape of spots on legs and markings on back are what is leading me to ID it as brown colour phase.
