These are Green Frogs, Liz.

Our only tree frogs are the spring peeper...a very small frog. Bullfrogs are
not listed as being present in Pictou County according to Gilhen's book
(1984). Perhaps all the effort of volunteers a few years ago in doing the
Herp Atlas came up with reliable sightings for Pictou (or Antigonish). I get
a number of folks every year telling me of Bullfrogs up my way - only once
have they turned out to be Bullfrogs (normally, they're Green Frogs) - and
these were just over the Antigonish border into Guysborough County.

And we could be so fortunate to have an overpopulation of frogs!
