My Frog

[KG4CGC]

Been cleaning up the pool and for the past 3 nights I've had a visitor.





So, he was out there again tonight. The male frog finds a spot and starts chirping/croaking to draw in a female. This is the Southern Gray Tree Frog. They usually have gray and green mottling and blend in well with oak tree bark and rocks with lichen.
When the male frog vocalizes, he's basically yelling out, "Who wants to fuuuuuuck! Who wants to fuuuuuuck!"

In 1996, I raised 24 of these little boogers from tadpoles that I snagged out of a pond that was being drained. The following spring I released them into a new area with its own pond.

What's his name?

[N7YA]

I would name him Steve....Steve the Frog.

[w2amr]

I would name him Steve....Steve the Frog.

Yeah, he looks like a Steve

[KG4CGC]

Yeah, he looks like a Steve

Naw. This is Steve.

I was thinking "Larry" myself.

[suddenseer]

Darryl.

[NQ6U]

Actually, since it's a frog, it should be "Pierre" or "Marcel," non?

There were a couple of frogs inhabiting the fountain catch basin near the White House during the Clinton years. Towards the end, Hillary had them whacked...seems the poor beasties kept repeating "Willy-Did-It" a bit too often for her tastes.

True story.
