A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Yes, the whiteness is due to over exposure. Sorry for the confusion :) I do believe it is some kind of wood frog as suggested. He was in my pool ad I fished him out and put him in my pond. He didn't stick around like I'd hoped, but maybe this is the wrong species for staying in the water?
Thanks, i had a lot of shots to choose from. :) These guys are everywhere!
I take it back! I think it is a western gull :)
I know it's an east coast bird, but it sure looks like one!
Thanks, that's what I thought too, but they are less common than a house finch so I wasn't sure.
I agree the colors are dark but I do think it is still a gold finch. I have a ton of them in my backyard. They change colors throughout the year. This one might be in the process of changing.
