Bull Frog the river bottom at this the year. The in great numbers in 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.
