It would happen so fast it was hard to take a good look. I am pretty sure they were bull frog tadpoles and if so, I will have a lot of bull frogs. has anyone else ever seen this, it was first for me.

I saw this for the first time 2 weeks ago...in my big pond I had what looked like a swarm/school of something almost churning the water about 3 feet off the bank. I finally got close enough to see that it was dozens of bullfrog tadpoles 'breaching' for lack of a better word, over and over again. No clue what the purpose was, I assume eating something? It was really cool to watch though.
