Pond Study

 April 28 – grass fires, as well as rain warnings? It just petered out. Lots of tornadoes on the other side of the border. We had about 2 mm. 

In the frog pond a wood frog has laid these eggs. I took photos, as I'll watch as they grow and hatch into tadpoles!





This was an accidental photo, in that I was trying to get a photo of the Wood Frog eggs in the foreground, and ended up with this.

There are billions of mosquito larvae in the pond. BILLIONS! It seems as if it'll be a banner year. I can see water striders, faery shrimp, toe biters, as well as other wee things.

Happily, the toe biter was madly eating the mosquito larvae! You go!
