Frog eggs

     On a walk the other day we noticed frog eggs each containing a little tadpole.  The eggs were in two large drainage area puddles away from the bass and other predators.  But a crawfish was swimming around in the mass of eggs looking for a meal.  Once hatched, the tadpoles that live to be adults will likely head the short distance to the pond.  There Mr. Bass will be a constant threat.

     We also saw an egg laying on the rock at the end of the pond.  It was slightly smaller than a chicken egg and was likely stolen from a nest somewhere.  A day later the shell was cracked open and the contents were eaten.

     After a winter's rest everything wants to wake up and live.
