Tiny, and one of many

I'm not sure what kind of baby Frog this is, but they were everywhere, in one spot not far from the edge of Bow Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta. They looked like small insects on land and in the water. In another area, we found large tadpoles. Friend Sandy held this little one to see if we could get a better idea of what it was.

"In Alberta, there are three true frogs: Northern Leopard Frog, Spotted Frog and Wood Frog. In addition to Alberta’s three true frog species, there is one tree frog, the Boreal (or Striped) Chorus Frog. The Boreal Chorus Frog looks very "froglike", but it lacks the dorsolateral folds along its back and webbing between its toes found in true frogs." I can't see any webbing, but I guess that could develop later? Our thinking is that these are most likely Boreal Chorus Frogs. Please feel free to correct or confirm, if you happen to know - thanks!

Corrected later, thanks to Kerri and Mark on Flickr - more likely to be a baby Toad.

In Alberta, there are three true toads: Canadian toad, Great Plains toad, and Western (Boreal) toad. In addition to Alberta's three true toad species, there is one member of the Spadefoot family, the plains spadefoot. Spadefoots lack the enlarged parotoid gland and they are less warty than true toads. So, "mine" is most likely to be a Canadian or a Western Toad.
