Mixed into the same area as the green frogs in smaller numbers: a flooded grassy area along the trail.
Really neat to see two different color variations: a classic green individual and a large, mostly brown one

This wood frog was discovered crossing Bear Trap Road in Milton, VT. I pulled over to help it cross as I was heading to Hibbard Rd, and it was found around 9pm on a 7 degree C night that was lightly raining.

Eastern Newt
Notophthalmus viridescens
Collected as part of a sample for Bsal in a vernal pool. The pool was drying up and didn't contain many adult amphibians, but there were several wood frog and spotted salamander egg masses. The weather was about 60 F with slight precipitation. This individual appears to be a pregnant female.
