We came upon a beautiful leopard frog during our Saturday Interpretive Walk at the Refuge (Pic is too large for listserve). That famous frog, Kermit, was fond of singing "it's not easy being green". Might that be because frogs are under-appreciated? Well, just so you know, frogs eat untold billions of insects each year, making them economically valuable to agriculture. They are also a critical food source for birds, fish, snakes and other wildlife. Most importantly, they are wonderful enviromental indicators providing an early warning system for endangered ecosystems. Come join us on this Saturday's (8/31) Interpretive Walk at the Refuge as we continue exploring the myriad interconnections between the living and non-living components of our environment. Walks are free; no sign-ups necessary; and begin at 10am at the Visitor Center. Hope to see you there. Pete Sar/NY State Master Naturalist Volunteer/Refuge Volunteer Roving Naturalist
