The northern green frog (Lithobates clamitans melanota) is a subspecies of the green frog, Lithobates clamitans. It is native to the northeastern North America and has been introduced to British Columbia. Its mating call sounds like the single note of a plucked banjo.

They were very restless and chasing after each other. For us above all it was very amusing to watch and to hear them

Green Frog
My bride asked, "How did you get him to stay still? "Frogs stay still when they're sad," I replied. "Doesn't he look unhoppy to you?"
The Green Frog occurs in southern parts of central and east Canada as well as the eastern half of the United States. Green frogs are usually found in or near shallow permanent wetlands such as swamps, lakes and streams. The diet of adults consists of a variety of small invertebrates including insects and molluscs whereas jeuveniles (tadpoles) feed on decaying plant and animal parts, algae, micro-organisms and assorted organic matter suspended in water. Hibernation is in water of sufficient depth to avoid freezing in winter.

The Northern Green Frog is native to northeastern North America and has been introduced to British Columbia.
The Northern Green Frog looks very similar to the Bullfrog, but you can tell them apart by checking for ridges proceeding from the Northern Green Frogs eyes.
I've uploaded video footage of this frog here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxbLzJJdQH0

This edible frog is a species of common European frog, also known as the common water frog or green frog. It is used for food, particularly in France for the delicacy frog legs.
The Green Frog (Lithobates clamitans) is a large, frog distinct tympanum and prominent dorsolateral ridges. It may be green, bronze or brown, or a combination but is typically green on the upper lip. The belly is white with darker lines or spots. There may be some irregular spotting on the back. It is distinguished from other frogs in that the dorsolateral ridges run only partway down the back and do not reach the groin. The hind legs have dark bars. Males have a bright yellow throat. The male tympanum is twice the diameter of the eye, whereas in females, the tympanum diameter is about the same as that of the eye.
In visiting birding locations before or at sunrise, one has to be mindful of all the creatures on the ground, especially around water. I saw some movement in the grass and lay down on my stomach as this Green Frog emerged. It is the first time I have seen a Green Frog with a bit of the blue morph coloration - not crazy rare, but certainly uncommon. The blue morph Green Frog gets its blue from a depletion or absence of the yellow pigment that combines with the blue pigment to reflect light and form the normal green. First light and a neat frog - a fine morning.
