\"AmericanAmerican Bullfrog in November at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge \u2013 Canon R7, beanbag, f11, 1\/320, ISO 640, +0.3 EV, Canon RF 800mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d be taking American Bullfrog photos at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in November, but thanks to Steve Creek<\/span><\/a>, I did on two different days.<\/p>\n

Steve had told me to keep an eye out for bullfrogs in the duckweed at the Four Corner Slough at the refuge, and sure enough, I found some. It took me a while to find an American Bullfrog that was looking at me, but I\u2019m glad I did.<\/p>\n

Most of them were either looking away, too far in the distance, or in profile view. There were a lot of bullfrogs on the slough! The duckweed made it challenging to spot them.<\/p>\n

The lowest temp I saw register on my Jeep was 32\u00b0F that morning, which seemed too cold for the bullfrogs, but there they were, in all their green duckweediness!<\/p>\n

Three days later I found more American Bullfrogs in the same slough. Again, most were facing away, but I did find this one and simply had to take more frog photos.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a strong cold front coming in this weekend, so I may have seen and photographed the last of the bullfrogs for the year.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed seeing these frogs through my viewfinder at the Four Corner Slough at the refuge.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
