If you visit a park with a creek or pond at the end of April, early May, you might also hear the constant trilling of the toads and maybe even see some mindless mating behavior like we did!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06440112423499282567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864208840656516270.post-55075338533286380392009-11-29T11:22:17.285-08:002009-11-29T11:22:17.285-08:00Thanks J-Rod - upon looking at the photo again, yo...Thanks J-Rod - upon looking at the photo again, you might be right!

She gets all sorts of poetical about hiking around her house, and does things like observe a Giant Water Bug turning a frog into goo and hatch praying mantis eggs in her house.

A colleague described a study that someone had done, in which they estimated the amount of bread thrown into the spillway each year. From this, they estimated that the nutrient input into the watershed from bread was greater than the nutrient input from surrounding agriculture!mfbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033153673221955148noreply@blogger.com
