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.

Find The Froggie
Day 151: I present this for any among my readers who think that being a naturalist is all wildflowers, birds and blue skies. I decided to hone up my frog-stalking skills during a soggy six-mile walk on the Bud Blancher Trail today. After all, the froggy folk like rain, and it's much more likely that you'll encounter them if you attempt to arrange a meeting on days they consider favourable. I did quite well, actually, sneaking up on several Cascades frogs in a ditch beside the trail, but the real surprise was when the grass at my feet seemed to leap out of the way. It took me a while to spot this Pacific Chorus Frog, even longer to edge close enough to get a zoomed photo. Can you find the froggie?
