A three-frog summer

 

This has been a three-frog summer. Indeed, as far as I have been able to tell, this region has only three distinct species of frogs: Columbia Spotted Frog, Western Toad, Pacific Tree Frog. (A toad is actually a frog, but a particularly warty one.)

While pictures of the first two species did appear earlier, to enable all three to appear together, one shot of each of the first two is included along with a link to its posting.

First to be seen was the Columbia Spotted Frog.

Second, was the Western Toad—or at least the toadlet—which was seen in great profusion.

Finally, the Pacific Tree Frog, which despite its name, breeds in ponds.
