I have to say that these were the most mannerly young gentlemen I've met in some time. I would guess the oldest at perhaps 17, and he asked the youngest (about 12) to stand back until I had gotten my pictures. There were quite a few subjects to choose from, and although this fellow had dived into protection earlier, he re-emerged in the same spot five minutes later. I believe this is a Columbia Spotted Frog, although I'm not positive of that identification.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
