Finding Frogs in winter?

[Zero138]

Hey,
Before everyone yells at me for wanting to find tree frgs in winter, I want everyone to know that my daughter has shown great interest in frogs and i wanted to take her on a walk down to the local park where there is a few natural ponds. I want her to be able to find a few frogs today and we are wondering where to look in winter?
You should know that we are in oregon and the frogs we will most likely be spotting are Pacific Tree Frogs. If you have any idea of a good place to look let me know. Hey if We dont have to leave the house and you think we coud spot some at home let us know where to look. I know frogs hide in winter but we are wondering if anyone else has had the interest in finding frogs in winter and might be able to give us some good tips. She does want to catch and keep some but id imagine taking them out of their environment during winter and tossing them into a summer like home might be traumatic, if not let me know, so I think we wil wait till summer to catch a frog. Now I have read that Pacific Tree frogs will breed in winter so if anyone knows where we might find some please let me know. My daughter would lve a nature walk that we were able to discover some frogs on.
Thanks Everyone,
Brandon Craig
and my daughter Rylee thanks you as well.

I personaly baught my son frogs in order to save the wild population. As he would relentlessly hunt frogs and hold them at leingth, problably dehydrating them and killing them slowly. Instead I'm teaching responsible frog ownership, and hopefully helping local treefrogs remain uncaught. If u have any pet frogs bringing wild frogs into your house can introduce parasites, even if they're not in same cage. Frog populations are being desimated across the globe, strong populations of any frog anywhere should be cherished as wild creatures. Unless u r trying to conserve a species. For 20$ u can go buy a frog that my like to be held.

Enjoy every nature with your daughter !

Study , watch , explore but leave the wild ones behind.
Admire them in their natural habitat.
I agree with Ginger and Lee - buy a captive bred frog?
I remember nature walks with my son. He had such a blast taking observation notes.
It can become very educational for children!

Wood Frogs!

If you’re not a scientist or an expert in field research, it's quite hard to find Wood frogs in the winter. And if one is successful in finding some, could risk the possibility of killing them. I would not advise trying to find a Wood frog in the dead of winter.

Most frogs would be in hibernation. I've been un-able to spot any in winter.

It's not too cold yet in Oregon. You probably have a good shot at seeing some. They won't be calling though, which makes them tricky to locate. As others have said, I wouldn't take them home with you but by all means look for them.

Wild frogs should be appreciated thru a lens and paper. Theres no reason to hurt the wild stock. They are great to study there life in the wild.

since we are on the subject...... what part of the states are wood frogs located?
