I have lived in Northern Virginia for over 30 years and in the same house for the past 10. This year there are no frogs for the first time I can remember. Has me worried we're next.  |

| | | | I feel offended. That's just rude. |

Now I rarely hear 'em anymore. Weird.

Simply put, there have been mass die-offs of amphibians. |

| | | | Seems weird that after millions of years they are all dieing off. |

| | | | If you want huge crows, just ask me, though.
This, or beavers. |

Just another casualty in the earth's ongoing battle with it's "humanitis" disease. 
No worries though we won't destroy the earth... it'll take us out first... and then the frogs will come back.  |

When I'm driving after a storm in residential areas (read: Still grass and trees) there are hundreds out in the streets, and they all jump in front of my car. It makes me sad every time  .
