The Pond Wildlife

This post is a tad bit late, kind of. The pictures were taken back in June, but the situation is actually an ongoing thing for us. It mainly consists of Frogs. Yep, the pond is full of them and last June when we had a few nice days and towards the end of the school year the kids decided we should catch some and take them to school.

We first caught some itty bitty lil black tadpoles, and then a week later we found this little baby. He's bigger and looks closer to what you would imagine a tadpole to look like. I've seen a couple with legs and a tail, but they are too far out to catch and too fast to photograph.

 

 6 months pregnant and out catching tadpoles-John was impressed. :)

This is the 1st duck family that used the pond for swimming. There were 5 lil ducklings which have already grown and flown off.

Currently there is a 2nd family that only has 2 ducklings that are getting pretty close to leaving. It's amazing quickly they grow up.

There are also a coupe of little blackbirds with red on their wings that also have nests around the pond in the reeds and a Muskrat (although haven't seen him in a while.)

Mostly the frogs are taking over and I'm wondering if anyone is craving frog legs. Come and get them, they are big and ready to go (and we're ready for a few of them to go too.
