ANURANS

Posted by Picasa 

Anurans or tailless amphibians also known as frogs or toads.  Minnesota has 14 species of toads and frogs grouped into three families:  toads, tree frogs, and true frogs.  I still can't identify what this little guy is we found on the way to the creek this morning.  Tonight he's singing an ongoing duet with the whip-poor-will.
