This is a Green Frog also known as Lithobates clamitans. The frog was found about ten minutes after finding a Fowler's toad. My best friend has a small pond behind his house and we heard some frog calls. I made him run inside and get a flashlight. We quickly ran down to the pond and found this guy. I picked him up and identified him first. Then we set him near the edge of the pond and we snapped this picture right before he jumped in the water. Lithobates clamitans are usually found in permanent bodies of water such as the pond this guy was found in. They are medium size frogs and their voice calls sound like a banjo string being plucked.
