Looks like something I seen, or have been to before.

Some pictures from a Sunday evening adventure with my boys.

Caught this on the way home....those are Neptune on the left and Jupiter on the right according to Google Skymap. Too Cool. Glad I live in the country.

I'm about 90% sure that is either a female or immature bullfrog in the pic.

See the circle behind the eye in the first pic? That is an eardrum. I 'think' that large, external ear marking is unique to bullfrogs. It is usually smaller and less noticable. Any amphibian experts feel free to correct me.


I do have a full grown backyard bullfrog that hangs out on my pool cover every spring too...

Nah, that's a green frog

Guess Where and What.

Somewhere in the Carib? Hutia?

 

[Bullfrog]

Yup, that was established a few days ago when he pointed out the ridge that bullfrogs don't have.

Since we don't have a 2021 Trail Cam thread, I'll put this here. Seems like a very malnourished deer. She comes in alone each time. I REALLY hope it isn't CWD.

Not good this late in year...its either injured or its got it. I dont know much about CWD. I doubt it will make it...

What is CWD?
I feed deer year round put last year up to today I only see a few.
I am still using last years corn and haven't purchase any this year.
Usually I have up to 14 at a feeding but now I place a shovel full at dusk
and in the morning it is untouched.

We belong to a mutual FB group. Those shots are stunning, but I'd have never gotten them.
