My baby sister has become quite a nature photographer in the last few months. She started with birds, but has branched out to our amphibian friends.
Frogs in the Northeast apparently rut like crazy after the first thaw. They seem to be of the "many young, short growth cycle" type of reproductive pattern (r-strategists), and boy, when they go at it, they go at it.
Sissy has more pictures posted here, as well as on flickr.
Reminds me of the old joke about the daddy alligator being the greatest hero of all, because he goes around stomping on the eggs he's just fertilizecd. He's a hero, because if he didn't, so they say, we'd be "ass deep in alligators."
