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?
