The Rana pretiosa - Oregon spotted frog - is the most endangered frog in Canada. There's only a couple hundred of them found in the lower section of British Columbia
The Anaxyrus fowleri - Fowler's toad- is an east coaster from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, but is only found in Canada in a small section of southwestern Ontario.
In both cases, habitat loss from development and pollution are contributors to their decline.
A frog and a toad - at least he's a Fowler's toad - for stamps with an F

Love those unique frog eyes peeking through the lily pads.
The Faroes are in my sight here
Frogs! I must not have any frog stamps, as they never occurred to me. The Oregon Spotted is a threatened species even in Oregon. I think it looks cute in the duckweed! That stuff pops up in my dog's water outside, it's like it just spontaneously generates!

Great stamp. And a great image of the frog peaking out of the water
Lovely mini-sheet. And the French word for frogs reminds me that there is a lot of variation for the word for frog in other languages - in Dutch it is a 'padda'.
My stamp for today is here: https://envelope100.blogspot.com/2025/09/f-is-for-fish.html
I have got these on postcards, and they look wonderful.
My contribution is here; but I think you have already found it!
