Identifying animals is often easier with photo references. We have quick reference charts as PDFs; please view or download these as often as you need them. They can help you narrow down the possible species of an animal you are observing. The Frogs quick reference is available as a web page also; others are coming soon.
Click on any of the chart images below to view or download a larger, clearer PDF. Clicking on any photo or linked text in the PDF can take you to that species’ webpage for more detailed identification and natural history information.
