American Bullfrog -- Lithobates catesbeianus

July 10, 2018 - Evergreen Cemetery, Portland, ME

While standing on the wooden bridge in the north east corner of the big pond I found 6 AMERICAN BULLFROG. The entire time that I watched them they didn't really do anything. There was no movement at all. At times I could see them breathing but even then I didn't see much movement. I'm assuming that it had something to do with the heat. It was nearly 85+ degrees Fahrenheit at the time that I was watching them. Also of note, I noticed the smallest ones first. And thought there was only two individuals, but as I looked around the area I started to notice more and more. Each one bigger than the last. It was almost as if they were turning on their invisibility powers. When they are stationary they can be very hard to detect.
