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.

Froggy Business
Day 146: It pains me to think that this amphibian abundance is in truth the newest generation of Rana catesbeiana, the Bullfrog which is invading so many of our water resources, but such is my suspicion. As hard as I tried to get closer, they were alert for even the smallest vibration or sign of movement and quickly disappeared beneath the thick slime which choked the ditch. I've seen adult Bullfrogs here before (Pack Forest), but never in such numbers.

I've never been able to get that close. Well done.
