Some further info:=20

1. No I did not handle this frog so no odour was detected.=20

2. It was hopping in the leaf litter around the foundation of the camp at 5a=
m (dark). The camp is surrounded by trees and 80' from the lake- the terrest=
rial location made me think it was an odd Wood Frog, which are present at th=
is location. I have also seen Pickerels, N Leopards and Bullfrogs  but only o=
n the lakeshore.=20

3. I have never heard Green Frogs calling here. The only water nearby is the=
 Lake and the road ditch which is usually dry, as it is now.=20

Hope this additional info may help.=20
