Comments & ID Thoughts

I live in New York. I see dozens of these daily when doing yard work but don’t actually know anything about them. This is the largest one I’ve seen in a long time. I was weed whacking and noticed him. Not sure if he was already on the wall or if he ran up there after I whacked some weeds. He was eating a frog!!!! There’s a pair of frog legs dangling from the flesh he is holding. Awesome!! Any information on this guy is much appreciated!!
