Commentary

Hello and thank you for your report! Bullfrogs are common in Washington County, and so are generally not a priority for control. Your report will be incorporated into our statewide invasives database, iMapInvasives, and will contribute to our understanding of the distribution of bullfrogs in Oregon.

Best,
Lindsey

Location

I saw an American bullfrog at my apartment complex on 9/17 in the afternoon. Behind the complex is a large wetland area. The bullfrog was seen in an apartment entry way very close to the wetland.
