Hi Randy and Liz
Randy is correct. I believe the frogs in McGee Pond are Green Frogs. They look quite a bit like Bullfrogs. During the Herp atlas I had a single bullfrog in Pictou Co.between Pictou and River John. They are nearby in Colchester in the Tatamagoughe area and south in Guysborough Co., but still not common to have bullfrogs in Pictou Co. I heard a bullfrog somewhere in northern Guysborough this summer while doing the bird atlas.
cheers
Ken

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Frog over-population?
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!

There were at least 22 frogs in MacGee Pond in Big Island! All of them were sporting a bright yellow breast, reminding me of Yellow breasted Chats. Which species? They could be either Tree or Bull Frog? They were large. Some of them had light brown backs while the others had green back.
Cheers, liz
