I'm not sure on the scientific name of the frogs... They look like the typical leopard frogs I see in all the pet stores in Colorado. I've never cared enough about frogs to bother looking into it any further ;-)
The mass migration of Leopard Frogs was mostly seen around Roseau, MN.
Around Grand Forks (on the MN/ND border), we'd fill up 5 gallon buckets with salamanders in just a few hours.
All the barns around our property were good places to find snakes, as well as the grain bins. Grain attracts mice and rats, mice and rats attract snakes.
There are bull snakes running around the area as well, but I have never seen one.
Colorado isn't too fabulous for finding snakes, either. Most often, you'll see Western Terrestrial Garters. Occasionally, you'll find some nice Plains garters. Bull Snakes are extremely common all over, and Western Hognose are found occasionally, if you're lucky. We also have a few prairie rattlesnakes turning up here and there.
