It’s time for our annual spring toad mass breeding event. The pond has 1000s of toads around the banks. Just piled on top of each other. Not afraid of anything. The trilling sound is deafening. Already clouds of black eggs around the banks. In a few days there will be millions of tiny black tadpoles. If I could figure out a way to link in a video, you could enjoy the racket.

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.
