In the end I made a temporary cardboard space about a foot square and 18 or so inches high, covered with a metal screen lid. I put leaf litter on the bottom and added some branches for perching.

I put one frog in there, and have been misting him with water once in a while. The other frog I carried down to ground level and released into brush near the pond.

This year my area had a large number of these guys a few months ago. I don't know if that is typical however. This is the North shore of Long Island, not far from an area called Rocky Point.

When the storm blows over I hope to release him back into the wild. The pond is about a 1/4 mile away, which would seem pretty far for a little guy like this.

Thanks to all for your input...
