2 photos of some local frogs. I included a short (very short, lol) description detailing an easy way to ID them.

Rana pipiens - Northern Leopard Frog
2 to 3 unevenly spaced rows of irregular oval dark spots with light borders.

Rana palustris - Pickerel Frog
2 parallel rows of evenly spaced squarish spots

Not only great pictures, but a little bit of education as well. :)

Thanks again for sharing!
