That's a nice assortment of Michigan frogs, there's a few in there I haven't seen. I'm a little surprised you haven't seen Northern Leopard Frogs or Western Chorus Frogs, I find both of them to be abundant at certain times of the year in MI.

It is very surprising that you don't find the Northern Leopard frog they are every where. The Western Chorus frog as far as for me seems to be read more than seen except in early spring. You have the Blanchards Cricket frog listed ..very nice. Would like to see a photo of a Michigan Blanchard's Cricket frog. I haven't found a Pickerel frog in years either Good work.

By the way I see you figured how to get the pics posted correctly :thumb:

Your best bet on the Western Chorus Frogs is to go wading into their ditches at night in the early spring when they are calling. I took me forever to actually see one, but once I did, I can find them pretty easily most times I try now.
