I once had a friend who rescued an entire colony of tree frogs from a small wetland that was slated for bulldozers. He kept them in a gigantic floor-standing aquarium in his apartment, and at night the sound was almost deafening. I’m sure the neighbors were…confused.

In reply to David jurko. David Jurko -- If you're sure it's a bullfrog, they are a very problematic invasive species that has a voracious appetite for eating just about anything it comes across, including our native tree frogs and other amphibians, as well as ducklings and birds. We're actually encouraged to kill them by the WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. From WDFW (link: https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/invasive/rana-catesbeiana#regs-seasons): "These frogs can be controlled without a permit. No license is required to hunt bullfrogs, there are no bag limits, and the season is open year round (WAC 220-12-090). Bullfrogs can be taken by angling, hand dip netting, spearing (gigging), or with bow and arrow only (WAC 220-416-120). Bullfrogs must be dispatched on site. Physical euthanasia is recommended. "

In reply to Trileigh. I hear a giant size bull frog sound everyday or night right behind my bedroom-window...

Wow, a tree frog in West Seattle! Sure wish they’d make it to our nice damp back yard!
