Interesting. I’ve got SMB, and maybe some HSB, along with YP and HBG. Nothing will touch my tadpoles. There’s been several times where we found them on the dock. They look like they’ve been spit out. My guess was the kingfisher hit them, then spit them out. There’s times when it looks like it’s sprinkling with all the tadpoles coming up to breathe. I will say, once they grow legs, they are gone. Either migrate out, or are picked off by the GBH or the pair of green herons that work the bank.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
