JUST ONE JUMP SHORT!
A visit at the Wildlife Refuge this morning and found a pair of Green Herons working a small pond. Unfortunately this Frog found himself being "Just one jump short of having a good day!"
As a public service for those that have never eaten frog at a fine restaurant, I'm including (2nd photo) the proper etiquette on consuming the little amphibians. Simply lay them on your tongue... on their back, head first and let em slide down!

l love the title. I have observed that the UKNP folks are great at coming up with humorous titles. It's nice to see 'em here in the PNW too!

This is awesome Craig. I can't imagine being a frog and having to worry about something eating you....on every day of your life!

Great work, Craig! I've added Green Heron to my list of birds to capture in an image. Yours inspire!
