JWF,

How close is the nearest other BOW....stream, river, pond, etc. to your pond? My pond is probably 3 to 4 hundred yards from a creek. Toads and Leopard frogs showed up the first spring. My toads showed up first. Their tadpoles are easy to identify. They are black and only about 1/2 inch long with tail and body about the same length. The frog tadpoles are bigger and lighter in color with tails longer than the bodies. I had way more toadpoles than frogpoles.
