Yeah, I suspect similar is true of Green Frogs and birds. The bird was
mostly defeathered when I netted him out of the pond. (The frog knocked
it into the pond while jumping back in.) I guess that teaches the rest
of them (I hope!) to stay out of the pond and stick to the birdbath.
The birdbath is only about 8 feet from the pond!
