Cryptic frog

Posted By Cal Sandfort

It's difficult to see here but when we found this "couple" it was almost impossible to make my brain not see one frog with something in its mouth. Cryptic coloration in the right circumstances is amazing.

Nice shot, James. In this day and age it seems that if you use film you still end up going digital somewhere along the line :-)

Thanks for posting - Cal

I thought a little color might help the winter blues.

Wow! I was tied up for a few days with a work project and returned to a lot of great photos and interesting discussion.

I'll try to get each photo but please let me say "Great shots everyone".

Northern Shrike

Posted By Cal Sandfort

I've spent some time in the Snake River Birds of Prey area the past few days and came across this bird impaling a Deer Mouse on a branch of a Sagebrush. Of course, I didn't have the camera then but spent a lot of time waiting for it to return. It didn't and I gave up at last light. I was sitting on the truck seat picking cheatgrass seeds out of my socks and this thing flew from nowhere to the closest bush to me and allowed several photos. Too bad the light was low. However, I have several shrike photos but none show the pattern on the breast like this one.
