Hi SusanRuffanerGahagan! Great picture! Please note that your Eyes mission is local and like all user-created mission has a radius of 300 miles. Please do not recruit spottings out of range. Thanks!

I disagree. I think the ridge is wrapping around the tympanum, making it a bullfrog. A side shot would prove it.
