Victor -- I didn't recognize the individual creatures that were in your photos.
I sure have a lot of salamanders (and toads, frogs, etc.) reproducing in my ponds. I usually only see the egg masses, the larger pollywogs, and the adults. I know that I sure have a lot of salamanders living and breeding in my ponds. So, I would expect you would have about the same critters as me.
Thanks OutdoorLivin for the ID.
Two points of trivia:
Victor -- Lynda and I passed through your beautiful little town earlier in the week. We stopped for lunch and then for gasoline near the "Frog, Switch, and Manufacturing" company. Lynda was driving as we pulled out of town. I just had to Google "frog" as it refers to Carlisle, PA. Now I really know what a "frog" is. I don't think those particular kinds of frogs are reproducing in my pond.
Lastly -- I was once a "pollywog". But, in 1972 I became a Son of Neptune, better known as a "shellback". I'm sure there must be a bunch more here on the site.
