Frogging By Day and By Night








The only thing better than catching frogs during the day or at night is doing it with your cousins. Finding frogs isn't something our cousins get to do very often but they do it with heart! During the day the kids caught frogs and tadpoles of all sizes and kinds. Filling a bucket with about 30 or so to show us with great pride. It was quite the collection. That night before fire works, we followed the calls of the frogs to the pond. The kids are getting really good in distinguishing the different call and zoning in on their location; particularly the tree frogs.

At this time of year the tree frogs hang out on reeds in the water calling to each other. In a few weeks they will head out to the trees and then it isn't as easy to find them. The tree frog Elias caught enjoyed hopping from person to person, demonstrating its super cool grip.
