This morning, I did my daily pond check. Once again something went from the
edge of the pond, and jumped into the deep end. It HAS TO BE a frog. Has to
be.

BV,

You only check on your pond once a day? :)

It does sound like a frog. Try walking up slower and look everywhere. Our
frog is to be found in the strangest places. I almost stepped on her more
than once.

It seems she is out by the pond early in the morning, then she goes on a
forage and can be found 20' or more from the pond. Later in the afternoon -
like 5 or 6pm she arrives back pondside for the evening.

snip

Only once before work. *laugh*

I have only seen the hop and the splash twice now, so I can't confirm.
Tomorrow I don't have to work, so I can creep out in the morning dew and get
all dirty and see if I can catch a glimpse of her. On work mornings it is
hard to sneak through the grass and mud in wingtips. *laugh*

Okay, you can't have paranoid neighbors for
this observation technique, okay?

Find a good viewing postion and get out your
binoculars. Try to catch a glimpse of frog before
it jumps in the pond.
You might want to inform your wife exactly why
you are doing this...

BV, If the frog "squeeks" when it jumps into the pond
then it is a leopard frog. A guy told me that a coupla
years ago right here on ole rec.ponds ;-)

Yes

It will take time until they get use to you. Walk slowly and look for
there heads just at the water line. At night you can go out with a flash
light. A night pond is different then in the day.

My green frogs squeak too when they jump in and the bullfrog makes a
deeper squeak (a mini-blah).

Last night our frog was sitting a foot or so from the pond. Jim walked up
to her, bent down slowly and touched her on the nose. A few minutes later
she let Jim touch her on the head. She has only been around two weeks. We
do talk to her whenever we see her. Perhaps this helps.

July 4th weekend we had the whole crew over. Everyone wanted to see the
pond, so we had a lot of traffic back there. The frogs gave up running and
just sat there, unless one of the kids got too close. It seems we have 2
dark green with yellow spots frogs, and 1 light green frog. I hope to get
some picture and post them to my web site soon. Either way...I HAVE FROGS!!!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeha!!!

BV.
