The "Shallows" weren't as shallow as they used to be, but there were a couple of Plains Leopard Frogs active nonetheless.  I was able to get close enough to get a picture of the one on the left after my monitoring period was over. Too much water in the Shallows turned out well for the meadows, however, which had a lot of water and a lot of Western Chorus Frogs actively calling.  The recording is from the meadow.
