Illinois Chorus Frog
These guys were exceptionally difficult to photograph while singing. Most of them would hush up as soon as either my focusing light or my flash hit them; perhaps this individual felt sufficiently protected by being tucked into the vegetation to continue his song as I recorded him. Madison County, Illinois
BTW, if you are interested in seeing a nice description of the whole evening (including the research being conducted), my friend Ozark Bill just posted a blog entry that covers the evening:
