Finally, after a 2 year wait, a male wood frog is quaking in my pond at
this very moment! At least one made it through last years drought to come
back. Perhaps he was born in 2000 or 2001 when they bred there. I
haven't seen my green frogs out and about. Afraid the worst winter ever
may have killed them. At least I have a hundred or more of their tadpoles
in my ponds so I won't be without the sweet froggies for long! I can't
wait for the toadies to come! I just shone a light on the wood frog and
that's what he is alright!

Am I ever jealous! My pond is still frozen over. I don't expect frog calls
for 3 or 4 weeks.
We (southern Michigan) didn't have wood frogs last year either, but had a
bumper crop of greens.

Me want toads, but wood frogs would be cool, too.
