Frogs!
This year I've seen more frogs, and toads, and more variety of frogs,
in my ponds than in years past. They're pretty much everywhere. Little green frogs (which I finally identified but forgot their name!), Southern Leopard Frogs (they seem to especially like the above-ground stocktank ponds), and the usual Gulf Coast Toads. Haven't seen any tree frogs recently, but they've been around in other years. I wondered about the presence of Leopard Frogs in the ponds and the possibility they might eat my goldfish (which would help control the population, so I wouldn't complain), but so far I haven't noticed any lessening of the goldfish numbers. The Leopard Frogs have either gotten bolder or are more used to my presence. Earlier in the year they'd duck under the water if I walked by while they were up on a lily pad. Now, more often than not, they just sit there looking at me, like "Oh her, she's no threat." I've also lately heard a loud "groak!!" coming from my patio where there's a mess of shelves, small storage shed, boxes, etc. I wonder if there's a Bullfrog in there somewhere (I've seen them around some years) either trapped or has found a place to escape the heat of the day.
