Wednesday was a great meeting of the Central Indiana FrogWatchers (CIFW) www.myspace.com/cifw . Our first meeting of 2008, the Year of the Frog www.yearofthefrog.org had a fair turnout, but by far the fartherst travel to any meeting. We had several new faces wanting to learn how to help the frogs of their community. Todd Pierson was the guest speaker and did a superb job. His topic was "Indiana Field Herping" and he explained the different types of field heping, and also talked about photographing amphibians and reptiles. He has some fantastic pictures, most of in Indiana, though he has herped throughout the country and even in Europe. His photos have been showcased at the Zion Nature Center and he has been voted Field Herper of the Month by www.fieldherperforum.com . He and his friend Andrew Coffman are working on a new website that will have every amphibian and reptile in Indiana, complete with photos and natural history for each. Don't be surprised when Todd's pictures are on the cover of wildlife publications. We have a great lineup of speakers for the Year of the Frog, so please try to check out a meeting and see how easy and fun it can be to help conserve frogs and toads. Thanks to Todd and to all that came out to the meeting. Hoppy Herping!
