very one of the remaining
pools of water. Over a
distance of about 1 mi. I
estimated 5000 frogs.
Some of the pools are fairly
swarming with them. When
these pools are disturbed
some seek safety at the
muddy rocky bottom but
the majority of frogs
leave the pool for the
greenery along where they
find shelter in the fallen
leaves and twigs. Several
of the adult frogs were
seen but they seemed
comparatively rare. There
were all sizes of frogs
grading down in size
from the large ones to
the tadpoles. The enemies
of these frogs were several
two kinds, Sweet Blue
Heron and Brown Heron,
a dead skunk and Osprey.
