Your three frogs are...
Rio Grande Leopard Frog
Sheep Frog (Hypopachus variolosus)
Rio Grande Chirping Frog (Syrrhophus cystignathoides campi)
The Chirping Frog is a cool, but finding three Sheep Frogs is a hell of a lot cooler!

Todd,
Well, Chris already has your Rio Grande Chirping Frog identified for you. Did you find the Chirping Frog and those Sheep Frogs in Jim Wells or Neuces County? I have recorded Sheep Frogs in Jim Wells but so far I am not aware of the Rio Grande Chirping Frog being there, but there is no reason it should not be...they are popping up all over the place.
See you in Austin on Saturday???

I will be there Saturday, the chirper was found in Nueces, and I suspect Toby will find them again soon, as they were less than 10 miles from his spot. Jim Wells has a great variety of toads but the frogs are hiding from me there as well. The leopards and Sheep frogs were from Jim Wells and G.C. toads and narrowmouths can be found in Jim Wells.

Todd,
I think the record size recorded for Sheep frogs is still 1 3/4 inches.

Well I'll be hog tied and sheep dipped! As you can see by this photo, it was at least 2" snout to vent, as I do not have small hands, each of my finger joints on my first two fingers are an inch long at least. I will have to put a tape on these guys later!
