A very exciting moment as my wife startled a frog into the water from the edge of the pond this evening. I had thought to have seen a head sticking up from the hornwort a few days ago, and tonight my wife noticed him several times. We were able to see him hiding just below the surface of the water and after a few more images were taken I think it's a male northern green frog (Rana clamitans melanota). That's his head sticking up out of the water between the two rocks just above the dried piece of iris.
This is tremendously exciting for the Habitat. As you may know, amphibians are generally in decline around the world and are thought of as an indicator species for the health of an environment.
Very, very cool indeed.
