Always checking the lawn before mowing, I again almost stepped on an adult Northern red-legged frog hiding in the tall grass. He was camera shy and quickly scampered into the bushes. 🐸

I see you Pacific tree frog!

My ritual from Spring until Fall is checking the lawn for frogs before proceeding to mow.

Mowing slowly helps those frogs I don’t see escape. 🐸

A small spotted light green frog hiding in grass. In 2007, the Pacific Tree frog (Pacific Chorus frog) was designated as the official amphibian of the State of Washington. A closer look at the frog. Many small lightly brown spots on the back and legs of the frog. Another close view of this frog. It has a black stripe from its nose, around the eyes, and ending at the front legs. The Pacific tree frog is the only frog in the world to actually go “ribbit.” I love hearing the long, slow “cre-ee-ee-eeek” call.
