Rana boylii

We were able to see a specimen that Emily Harvey had captured before we arrived.

This was a great sighting during a Field Biology field trip. One of my students (a preserve naturalist) got into the creek just above the old swimming hole dam, and found a couple of these frogs in the water. This is the first time I’ve seen one in the wild (my previous sighting was a wild animal, but it had been caught by someone else).

One of these frogs was found in the creek just below the “dam” (the same place where I’d seen one in the past). Super cool.
Let me know what you think!
