The toad orgy is almost deafening in our pond. It’s hard to have a conversation when they are trilling at full volume.
I wonder how far a toad will travel to participate? I am always amazed at how many toads show up for the “event”. We see a lot of toads throughout the year, but just a tiny fraction that show up on the big day.
Clouds of tiny black tadpoles around the edges of our pond now. I’ll have to look closely to see what direction they are swimming. I’ll be there tomorrow.
We still have thousands of the big bullfrog tadpoles swimming around also.
My fish don’t touch either of the tadpoles. I’ve seen them on the dock from when the kingfisher will accidentally grab one, but spit it out.

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.
