A Proud Day for me, professionally.

Well. So I was out at work this evening, shooting bullfrogs at my research site, when I come across the most unbelievable thing I've seen at work, ever.

Federally listed as 'threatened' (one short hop from 'endangered'), and gone from almost 70% of their former range. Thought to be extinct in this area (last one was seen in 1952), I devoted 2 years to combing the 4500 acres I call 'work' for any sign these guys might have survived, no dice. And now, 2 years after I had resigned myself to disappointment, there he was.......... hope springs anew that my years of toil were all worth it.

Wow, congrats. Only if everyone had the enthusiasm about work that you do maybe our economy would be better. I have never seen anything like that before. I like the picture that looks like he is smiling. Keep these posts coming I like seeing your herping adventures (in your case work).
