dagnabit, I want toad tadpoles!
If anyone in the area of Pikesville, MD, is overwhelmed with toad tads,
and is looking for a place to release a bunch, I'd be glad to pay for them and the gas it takes to bring them over (my health gets in the way of getting out to pick them up.) Many thanks, Toadless Alan -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- **** Please use address to reply via e-mail. **** Posted using registered MR/2 ICE Newsreader #564 --------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Okay, I know this is a little over the top, probably worthy of a Roark Award but..... They do sell amphibian call CDs somewhere out there in internet land. I wonder if some computer nerd like my youngest son could rerecord and loop toad calls... Then I wonder if there was a ponder, with a sense of adventure, who could set up an outdoor sound system, play the calls and see what happens? k30a |

K30a...I found a wav. file somewhere on the internet about a year ago. I
wondered the same thing...how would my frog react as to the best of my knowledge, he's never heard or seen another frog? Well, my computer is 3 rooms from the pond and I wasn't curious enough to run speaker wire out there so I just turned the volume all the way up and played the croaking for about a minute. The reaction from the frog was nil - nada - ho/hum but some people walking by my house thought I had a 300 lb. frog in the house! :-) "K30a" wrote in message ...

Not sure if it was National Geographic, National Wildlife Federation or something similiar. I tossed the catalog. Whichever one it was also offers a cd of birdcalls. I'll let your fingers do the typing to find which site has it available. -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |

I am glad they did come! Our first summer, we wondered if they
would...because we built the pond in August. Since then, no question. Right now I can hear maybe 20 toads and 10 green tree frogs announcing their availability. The pond has vast numbers of tadpoles. We built....they came! May you enjoy the serenade and may Toadless alan be toadless no more!

Many thanks, Toadless Alan I feel your pain and i want to laugh. They told me to build a pond and they would come and i posted 6-8 posts crying about wanting tapoles. Now i have thousands and am scrambling for a kiddie wading pool to set up an escape route out back. So, you'll pay gas, eh? I am near Ft. Worth. Texas. Rev up your check book, here i come! :) |

Many thanks, Toadless Alan I'm just pleased that someone has clarified the spelling of "dagnabit" Joe Well actually, i thought it had two "b"s. :) Alan, i hope you get your toads. Is it "spring" there yet? When you listen out bvack do you hear any toads calling in the distance? When i said i was laughing earlier, i didn't mean at YOU, I meant because i wanted them like you do and now i have a million toadpoles! If i knew how to mail them, i would, just so you'd have some too.

Turned out to be a Mockingbird. But at least we know he learned his song somewhere around here. Still hopeful.

When i was waiting for toads i heard one by the pond and dropped my hose on the other side of the yard to go see. It was a mockingbird on the fence above the pond. Don't give up hope! |

If he can't get them soon, I plan to buy some on-line. I am in Ellicott City, MD...maybe it would make sense for us to go halfies on some on-line? BV. |
