Leopard frog is a welcome diversion


Eyeballing.
One of the chores for the Wetland Restoration Team is pulling clumps of plants from tubs and cutting the plants into fist-sized sprigs for relocation.

I plopped a soggy clump on the table and started whacking on it when a stowaway made me jump back.

It was a Leopard Frog with a body about three-inches long.  We all admired it.

The frog was surprisingly still maybe because Leopard Frogs are generally nocturnal. We checked it for injuries because I thought perhaps I had cut its leg.

However the frog seemed fine and made a hearty jump to freedom when it was taken back to the ditch.

Good camo.
