frogs!
This morning I caught and removed the 4th bullfrog of this season. I
don't remember having any last year -- this is only my second year for the pond. We have seen frogs eat a variety of creatures this year. The first one ate toads and two of my large fish. This last frog ate a field sparrow. Besides placing a net over the pond (I don't even want to do this with lilies and rocks everywhere -- it would look bad and I don't even think work), does anyone have any ideas -- or what has worked for you all?

Actually, netting seems to disappear from view when installed. I resisted
netting my pond for too long until I got tired of the depredation. The edges of our pond are about 6" or more above the ground. -- Jim Humphries, former visa officer "Donna" wrote in message om...

Hi Donna,
Bullfrogs just don't take the hint to leave. Your pond supplies and attracts food for them. Predators are effective but how to tell a heron, eat only the bullfrogs please? Catching and releasing are your best options. Tedious but effective. k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

how do you fasten down the netting so that nothing gets under it? with my
above-ground stocktank pond, all i'd need is a drawstring. but i can't figure out how all y'all do it. mad -- Red meat is not bad for you. Fuzzy green meat is bad for you!

Very meaty, and tasty when lightly battered and fried. (Seriously)

yuppers... They are good..you can even buy frog spears at the local
wallmart.and unlike the leopard frogs and smaller frogs...it seems that the bullfrog population is doing fine. K30a wrote: Rich wrote frogs legs are good..... That would be your basic human predator. ;-) k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

Well -- another one is here and I had to dip out a dead mockingbird
yesterday. I am thinking the frog grabbed it and then decided it was too large. It was so gross to peek out of the back door and see a wing sticking up in the middle of the lily pads -- ick! My favorite kind of frog -- the ones made out of concrete! Donna |
