a beautiful sight, yellow leopard frogs, so I know the environment here is still clean
Three days ago I was mowing the field and came across several yellow
leopard frogs. I have never seen yellow leopard frogs before. I have seen the larger green leopard frogs back in Ohio and elsewhere. So I looked up yellow leopard frogs and they are sometimes called meadow or grass frogs. I simply shoed them away into the brush so the mower would not harm them. I came upon three of them. It was a happy sight because frogs are becoming rare. They are so easily preyed upon and their soft bodies have little defence in a increasingly polluted world. So when I see frogs on my property is a signal that my place is still a good environment to live. I believe the reason I am seeing them is because there is a flowing yearround stream nearby. I have huge numbers of dragonflies in the summer from the pond but now I have the yellow leopard frog. Recently I tried to trench the stream deeper to about 4 feet deep. Perhaps that helps the frog population. Anyone know if frogs need a deep water habitat?
