Short herping excursion while I was in Bermuda on business. Mission: Find a "peeper" frog.

These things were big and if you weren't looking you'd kick them while walking on the course. There were a bunch of them.

Finally spotted a "peeper". Hard to believe these little frogs make such big noise a night! (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) I believe.

Spotted this guy on the roof from our balcony the day we left.

amazing that little guy can make such a racket.

"Yes she has a frog in her hand."

Her facial expression says," Frog, what frog? This hand? Naaaaaaa!!" :D

Those toads look like cane toads.... Bufo Marinus

Looks like a good time!

If your back give me a buzz this week once you get back into the swing of things....:cheers:

Glad you had time to do some herping. Hope you all had a good time.

great finds

Look a lot like the coqui frogs in PR. Loud little devils.

"Yes she has a frog in her hand."

Her facial expression says," Frog, what frog? This hand? Naaaaaaa!!" :D

LOL! Same thing I was thinking!:lmao::lmao:

Looks like a great trip, and she looks like she was SERIOUS about finding that frog!:cheers:

Lovely pictures, looks like a beautiful place for a little bit of relaxation. :cheers: Well, except for all the toads.

I wish I could go to Bermuda, minus the triangle. Nice finds!

Those are cool looking little guys! If they are anything like the frogs here after a rain, the sound is almost deafening.I can here them inside wit the house closed up and the A/C running while the TV is on.

very cool pics...they are related to the Puerto Rican Coquie's
