Love Pond

The sounds of mating by the northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) were the loudest an weirdest I have ever heard in the wild.  Me and Jenni walked into a full out orgy of frog loving at Ledges State Park last Sunday.  There were hundreds of northern leopard frogs in the act as well as a bunch trying to get into it from the sidelines.  They were so into it I could sneak up close enough to get this picture on the usually panicky anphibians.
