Remember the frogs?


In late May I wrote about tree frogs but had no evidence then that they were breeding nearby. Last week, while Kira was painting the water trough we noticed the frog eggs were back.

They're not easy to see, but there are many of them floating with some sunflower seeds and a few drowned bugs. We also noticed some large tadpoles in the water so there must have been other eggs laid some time ago.

Speaking of frogs, we've been camping out the last few nights near the large pond. The frogs have been very noisy with at least three types of frogs heard almost all night long.
