He does have skinny legs and boney knees.

That’s a really good photo MG2! Although that is an insect known as a Hoverfly, not a Yellowjacket.

Lepoard Frog visiting pond . MG2

That’s a toad. It looks like an American Toad to me. They’re very common here in the warmer months.

No it’s a Leopard Frog hiding in rocks in my pond . I have lots of toads and Tree Frogs .

I promise you that’s a toad. I’m really not trying to be rude, just trying to help identify these little critters.

[Manixguy@1994]

Leopard Frog , common in Illinois. I don’t take your comments as rude no worries.

Spotted a couple Eastern Red-Backed Salamanders and had my Lil Native pose for a quick photo op.

Great shots , never seen a red one . We do have the large black with speckles. They have a neat defense system . MG2

This morning, there was a squirrel being swooped by a crow in my yard, but I couldn't get a decent shot of it.
