Currently, the sound of spring peepers is deafening at dusk. With no fish in the wetland, the frog population is incredible. The tadpoles and frogs feed the herons and mink, and many migrate to the pond and feed the fish.
Just saw this, i guess it is the benefit of having it be 200 yards away....can't hear the tons of frogs. The few that survive daily around the pond i find to be pleasing to listen to, and the splash of an LMB night-feeding on an american bullfrog is just plain awesome.
