Just a few days ago the noisy Wood Frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus) arrived at my little pond for their breeding season. Two days ago Granddaughter and I went out to check on the pond and the eggs. Here’s what was out there, and surely today there are many more. Those frogs have really been busy.

Since these eggs have been laid in chilly water, it may take a month for them to hatch. If the eggs had been laid later in the season in warmer water, hatching would take place in 10 to 14 days.

Stay tuned. I’m going to be watching what happens as winter turns to spring.
